As was predictable, op is a troll.Not trying bully anyone into taking me. Are you joking lol? You clearly didn't even read my post. People like you are ruining the game and not giving many good players a chance because all their tiny brains care about is parses from people who spend hours doing log runs like robots. NOTHING skillful about that and it it shouldn't be the only indication that a player knows what they are doing. "I have an entire group buff the hell out of me so that makes me better than the rest". Sure buddy.
ur OP is full of swearing and shaming ppl who actually put in workNot trying bully anyone into taking me. Are you joking lol? You clearly didn't even read my post.

at this point id be surprised if anyone takes u
for the record the hours of parsing r for 99/100 which in all honesty hardly matters, if u got BiS and u know what u r doing u can get a 95+ in a few clean runs
First, we can't read your post anymore you edited it to "Deleted post". In case you didn't know, editing your post to "Deleted" doesn't delete it.Not trying bully anyone into taking me.

Neither will it fool anyone into thinking the post as been removed by moderators.
Second, you are right about logs, it doesn't takes a lot of skill to make a good performance.
If you are correctly geared, you can land in a 75+ percentile without much efforts.
Therefore anyone should be able to make a good colored number if it's not skillfull.
On the other hand, someone reaching 99 percentile is not always a good player. I've met a few that could do that but were terrible when it came to prog content.
Third, the colored numbers takes in account rDPS. Which means raid DPS, the DPS you bring minus the buff you receive plus the buff you grant to allies.
In short, the website calculate it as if you received no buffs at all.
aDPS is the value that only use the damage you dealt during the battle, without excluding any buffs you received.
Finally, regardless of this, it is a teamgame. You should know and be able to play and burst taking in account your team raid buffs.
With these in mind and that OP sounds offended, I believe OP is not a troll but simply an unexperienced user that discovers the world of internet interaction and MMOs.
Your situation feels unfair but believe me that later, you will agree with these rules. They exist for a reason, for a smooth and fun prog.
Parsing logs is largely just getting a group of like minded people to go do it till you get the good parse you want. Shows you how good a person is at that specific fight, or whether or not they put the effort in to getting one. Though, being able to parse a fight well does mean you understand mechanics and things like knowing when to do your stuff.
Side note, reason the OP edited it is salty comments. Yeah, kind of a dick move to say, but, not entirely unexpected either. I still don't know what the hell anyone would expect a dev to do if a group wouldn't want you though because they want logs. Tell them to take you even if you suck? I wouldn't stick around in a group if it couldn't meet the basic dps check of the two knights, for sure.

You are one of 2 or 3 people here that understand what my rant was about and I appreciate the good advice. Thank you.The devs are going to do nothing about this...Because there is no obligation for them to do anything about it. They can't tell players to take samurais into groups or exclude them because we the players have the right to decide who goes and who doesn't. Would it make sense for yoship to come over and tell you that you have to take that bard? No, it wouldn't.
Best you can do is just report them, for all the good it'll do. But, here's the thing. Ultimate fights are demanding, challenging, and more importantly, set up differently than a typical savage fight. Some classes excel at these kinds of fights strictly because of how they're laid out. Samurai has never been the best choice for ultimates, despite being able to clear them. I know, I played samurai for every ultimate up till now. I know you're ranting, and it sucks, but you can't expect the devs to force people to take you into their groups either. It'd just breed resentment among your peers, and that's just as bad as being excluded.
My wording wasn't the best and it pissed a lot of people off so I deleted it once I calmed down, but like most people I reached a point where I was sick and tired of something and the forums are the only place I thought of venting, big mistake though as I am probably one the most hated people here after my rant. This is my 2nd thread and will be the last.
Yeah, venting on the forums is very hit or miss. But if it's tied to something completely player fueled, there's very little the devs can do about it. Even if we cut away logs, people would look for other ways for you to prove yourself. But speaking as someone who has been excluded because of class choice, I've known how it feels and how frustrating it is. People sometimes need a chance to soar, and not everyone likes to give it. As many have said, logs are just there to show you have some grasp of your class and weren't just carried through the content. Still doesn't mean you're good, but shows you do have aptitude.You are one of 2 or 3 people here that understand what my rant was about and I appreciate the good advice. Thank you.

Still, if you're that determined to get in there, then keep trying. If one thing doesn't work, try something different. Who knows, maybe you'll learn something new? But, in the future, try and find friends or someone who'll listen to you rant. Public forums don't always invite the best of us, or the most empathetic.
your original post came off as "waaah, people decline me because i'm not an parser"You are one of 2 or 3 people here that understand what my rant was about and I appreciate the good advice. Thank you.

the main issue is that you were venting about an problem that SE won't ever do anything about because of an very simple fact.
if it was for Savage, joining an casual static they rarely ask for logs, but once you got higher than casual they slowly ask for logs, why? because they want to see how concistent you are, they can analyze your logs, see what you parsed, see what your personal DPS is (for SAM RDPS is concistent because you don't give DPS to others)
see where you died and perhaps even see an growth. (i went from an 0-1% rdm parser to 80-90% rdm parser for example)
people don't want to waste their time trialing you out, you might be a good fit personality wise, but we're talking about ultimate, not casual content, you might fit personality wise, but do you fit playstyle wise?
as some have pointed out, applying for statics is very much like an job application, you got competition, then you need to outperform your competition, sure it's not according to ToS, but prove it, screenshot the discord message and report it, open that can of worms, then we won't talk about parses in discord either and we create that toxic minefield there aswel.
when i applied for statics i just gave them my fflogs profile, most were like "we don't need them, we'll trial you out" some liked me, some didn't, that's how it is.
