They Should Add An Official Damage Meter With One Condition

[Azuri]

I think you'll then see groups saying they require *SET BATTLE RATING* and a screenshot, which would change the screening of groups that are looking for certain people who can perform at said level. Even if you yourself can only see it, it's still going to be problematic and not really change the state of things if we throw in a damage meter - it'll just be a bit more difficult than merely denoting The Site That Shall Not Be Named. This screen at the least won't cause griefing, but it'll still be stigmatizing for finding a group if your score isn't high enough.

I forgot to add this before I posted, but people over-emphasize numerical values. I think if we were to take this screen, we should only display how many Stars as a Battle Rating for how well you did instead of numbers, because people love high numbers and always require a threshold if they are looking for certain parameters.

Ah yes, the horror of wanting to play with others of comparable skill level. How dare they.

And yeah, fflogs.com. There, I said it.

You realize gaming community in general sucks at interpreting data? Hell most probably can't even properly read those provided by fflogs.com There's a reason why blindly following Meta is about as damaging to the game as exact opposite. Yes it was exaggeration but WoW and especially Classic was especially bad with this. With game being pretty much solved there legitimately were people barring non meta builds from groups even if all it did was speeding up the run by at most couple minutes.

Ultimately there's only one thing I can tell with certain degree of confidence. If you can't improve without damage tracker and only damage tracker then you won't improve with it.

Cool. It's their party. They can have an all lala or all hroth party or any other arbitrary restriction. No one is entitled to be in a party and if someone wants certain jobs just let them do it and make your own.

You know you can easily block your logs. I do. And it is not out of shame. My DPS is none of your business.

Of course. And I can just as easily avoid grouping with you by either not joining your parties or removing you from mine. And we would both be happier for it.

Exactly. I am thrilled we aren't on the same world or DC. We never will have to encounter one another. Be blessed.

I've been PFing the tier lol, it's rare that anyone will even call you out for hiding logs tbh, much less ask for it. They only leave when you/whoever/the party can't pass a certain mechanic. :shrug:

Ah, but I can also look at you on the Lodestone and see that you don't have any Savage achievements.

Edit: Or any recent Extremes, for that matter. What's the point of being all up in arms about logging when you're not doing anything that's going to be logged in the first place?

lol I'm noticing a common occurrence

Nothing like getting mad about something that doesn't affect them in the slightest eh?
