Here is a randomly looked up parse i found for Susano July 1 2017 of a full grey parced group

I simple typed in two letters and clicked on a random toon in the list and managed to find this within 5 minutes. All I know is it is a full group of full greys when he was current and they killed him.

Also yes, acceptable is subjective. If you want to wait and get through content slower because your having to mill over logs thats on you. At the end of the day its a video game. I play to have fun and not worry about logs as their have been numerous grey groups clearing all content fights. Also one green in your group of all greys is not that big of a difference. A green with 100 more dps in a fight is not a carry by any means of the word. Fact is, that parses dont matter when their numbers have been proven to not be accurate on what can and can not clear content. Grey parsed groups have just as good of a shot to kill content as a group full of oranges.

Also I never mentioned killing bosses at a speed kill. I mean getting into a group and being able to kill it every time in the allotted amount of time per fight with no wipes. Ill admit sure, a speed kill group will kill the boss faster sure. However I never noticed the time saved in a speed kill compared to a regular kill. Usually speed runs do not last as long as farm parties in my experience so I dont even bother. As long as every attempt made results in a kill over and over, the party is fine. No matter what makeup, parse, speed, rotation used, healer dps, tank dps, etc. I have been in full grey parsed farm parties for ex trials and got my dog each and every time. My Byakko ex trial farm party took me 30 kills which i ran straight from start to finish in one day with a grey group and me as green. Got my dog on my 30th kill. Save for Shinriyu where I parsed blue instead of the normal green which took me 27 kills in one day to get my dog. My Tsukuyomi kills took 4 to get my dog which me and most parsed grey with one green and one blue in it.

What you're trying to gloss over is that it's a parse from 18 months ago when content was new and players had gear with much lower ilvls than they do now.

Of course those parses show as grey now when people have been continuing to clear the content for the last 18 months with increasingly better gear. But if you had looked at that parse back when it was first posted, I'm willing to bet it wasn't a grey at all.

It's got nothing to do with the information being inaccurate and everything to do with it being data from when players didn't have the gear they have now.
