Letter to MR Yoshi: Why parses system is destroying the ffxiv world.

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Many people do not know how to use FFlogs sadly. Also, this party clearly wanted a WAR that knew what he was doing.

Just a side note:
Lets say that the best MCH parse is 6,3k, and the worst MCH parse is 6k (Not too far from each other, only 300 dps difference).
The first MCH is going have a yellow parse (100%) while the second MCH is going to have a gray parse. But both players are actually good. the small difference could be because of party comp.

Percentiles mean nothing if the dps numbers are close to each other. People should look at things that matter (Active time, cpm, etc..)

You see this alot in Ultimate logs. Where everyone clears it but some end up having gray/green parses. This does not mean that they are bad players.

While I understand the overall point you're trying to make, your example is grossly exaggerated. Currently, the difference between the top ranked MCH (6,900) and a grey one is 2,000 DPS. I had to back track to 1951th place on God Kefka's ranking to finally find a grey ranked MCH. A 300 DPS difference is purple against orange, not orange against grey.

Ultimate logs are a very skewed example size due to how few clears are. Not to mention, many people don't optimize nearly to the same extent because of how demanding that content is. Some only clear once or twice, thus the results are even more skewed. Basically, it's not a good sample source to determine how percentages reflect skill on FFlogs.
