It is a beautiful ray of sunlight, forcing players into the truth of what they are (or in the case of the paladin, aren't) doing.
I feel that unless you're recruiting for a static of some kind, then looking up someone in fflogs before you play with them is a tad excessive.

Everyone has bad logs at some point whether it's due to lag, having a bad day, someone in the team hindering your performance or you just didn't realise at the time that you were doing something wrong. I'd hate to be judged on logs in which I had lag. They make me look awful and nothing about the logs will tell the viewer I had lag. They will just show I had poor or too little spell usage and died a lot.

Never mind how judging solely through logs can actually harm people who have improved since their last logs. If the logs aren't super recent then you can't really rule out the possibility that they have since improved. It would suck to be constantly refused based on out-dated data. Sure you could make your own logs to show your improvement...unless you're a ps4 player. Then you're stuck or have to ask someone else to log.

Also who the hell logs alliance raids? o.O People actually do that? Given how incredibly messy they can be I feel that the combat data from them can be too volatile to be worth going through.
