    Uh, don't do this. People who hide their logs are almost immediately ostracized because people assume you have something to hide. I cannot exactly fault the mentality. After all, why hide your logs unless they're exceptionally bad? In which case, the PF leader is rightfully concerned you will hold the group back. People are under no obligation to carry you through a clear simply because you want one.

    Nonetheless, I... have to agree with Apple Jinx here. We're missing an important detail because people typically aren't kicking anyone unless their FFlog page is hidden, extremely low or they've consistently screwed up mechanics. SAM may get meme'd on but people don't kick them on site without a reason, especially since they can merely lock the party slots if they didn't want a SAM.

    If I've done a fight 50 times and of those 50 some random person uploaded 2 runs to fflogs. It's by no means an accurate representation of my ability.

    There's basically 2 ways you can go. One is hide your logs entirely.

    2 is parse and upload every single encounter you do. In order to maintain an accurate representation of your abilities.

    1 is infinitely easier than 2. And 2 is impossible anyway for many players on the ps4 or lower end pcs.

    There's also the fact a huge amount of people never look into the logs. Just the colour of a players name and there dps number...
    If you've done the fight fifty times, you have fifty parses which you could upload. Why are only two there? Contrary to popular belief, most players don't actually care if you're spotting greens or your median is trash, especially in a pug setting. I am far more apprehensive when I see hidden logs because I have no information to go on except your word. And a lot of people lie about their experience levels in this game. You're essentially demanding people potentially waste their time without giving them any frame of reference to work with, all because you don't want to upload parses. You don't have to like it, but it's their party and their rules. Personally, I won't kick immediately, however I will be far less patient with any mistakes you make because I almost have suspicions you're hiding something. Should you start screwing up mechanics, you're only confirming said suspicions whereas if I could see your parses, I might be more inclined to help.
