getting kicked from end game pfs as soon as I join?

[Bourne_Endeavor]

The easy fix would be make fflogs opt in not out.

as for the groups performance and who owns the data then i think that comes down to how the data is presented. I mean the new GDPR privacy thing basically says you cant hold or use any data that can be identifiable without express consent of the individual being identified..

that said what you could do is upload your parses if you want but any players who hadn't opted in or consented to fflogs would have to be anonymised so anyone looking at that particular parse would just see monk or dragoon. and while they could see how that monk or dragoon or entire performed they wouldnt be able to identify them without consent...


thing is doing this would eliminate a ton of the negative stigma around logs and parsers in general. and it would still allow players who wanted to show off or compete for high numbers or super fast kills. the chance to have some bragging rights. while at the same time preventing it from being misused on random players who have no interest in the site

It would also allow bad players to sneak their way into parties and waste people's time. This notion bad FFlog parses will lead to wanton kicks from pug groups is a boogeyman created by bad players trying to deflect responsibility. It simply doesn't happen. At least not with any regularity. The only time your FFlogs page may be held against you is if you're joining weekly clear parties and have never parsed above 20%. And in that case, you're a liability to the group. Stay in learning groups and learn how to perform your job better in harder content instead of wasting other people's time because you couldn't be bothered to do better. If you're relatively consistent, even if your numbers are average at best, this will never be an issue for you.

if fflogs didnt have tens of thousands of parses for everything from extreme primals to normal mode raids to expert roulette dungeons i might agree with you.

Just because categories doesn't mean they are treated equally. Some groups like to meme around with Primals, however parses from there aren't treated as anything noteworthy. If you look at any static recruitment page or discord, they will want your Savage experience. When it comes to FFlogs, Savage is the only thing people treat seriously, Ultimate notwithstanding.
