They never will. Even if they managed to obfuscate some of it, the text from the combat log could always be parsed manually to determine things like DPS. Yoshida himself has recognized that one could essentially parse the combat log using a program like Excel, and for such reasons its kind of a pointless venture to try to shut it down.

Your aversion to logs is kind of funny to be honest. Log-checking people typically helps to mitigate the exact situation you're proposing a solo-duty to fix. Logs are heavily utilized as a way to weed out poor candidates without wasting time trialing people who aren't prepared.

Also, FFLogs provides a way to hide your logs from the site for those concerned with privacy. You just need to add a short phrase to your lodestone bio.
