    But that scenario definitely falls into the "don't ask, don't tell" situation. If it was happening regularly and SE stance on harassment. Players could be looking at some game wide unwanted repercussions.
    There is already a tool, called BATTLELOG. Its just that it would be way to much work to read it out properly, thats what the parser does and fflogs is just keeping record of what happened in the fight.

    But what i find way more interesting is that most people share literally everything on socialmedia but they almost start a riot when people see how they do in a videogame.

    @Andevom if you read correctly what i wrote you would've seen that i was strictly refering to the chat everyone can see. If i write something in the All, Shout, Party or Yell chat i know that everyone can see it and i don't really care if people could look up what i wrote in there, just like i don't care if people see my logs or not. Nothing of that is somewhere near MY private data, its stuff from a videogame and nothing more.

    If someone wanted to read through the battle logs. That are saved on their system that is fine. But unless I missed an update, isn't that info wiped from you when you log out? Also it sure looks to me like FFlogs quantifies that info into another number. You can take it however you want though. It just seems like this ship has sailed along with a few other things in game that people would like to have changed. But I am sure you could almost write the response to what they would say, if the forums were flooded with people are being booted because of fflogs.



    The social media thing. I am sure people allow what they are comfortable with online. I think people are a little to comfortable, but that's just me.

    I don't have a horse in this race (I don't raid savage), but I think the key difference here is...what I share on social media is between myself and those I trust. What is on FFLogs is available to anyone. As best as I can tell, all of us who play this game have given the rights of our characters and everything about them over to Square-enix when we signed up, but not to anyone outside of that.

    Oh you can also keep your logs to yourself if you want to because you can tell them that you don't want your character name in there. Its not much different from social media where you have to do settings for privacy, where i can see most peoples pictures as a stranger anyway, except that you have to contact them. But thats not the point i was going for, a ton of people share literally everything on social media with their thousands of "friends" and i bet some of them are among the people who complain about their logs on fflogs. What do you think is worse? Showing pictures of yourself to the public or that people can see how you can control your pixels?
