"Balance team tests the fights themseslves"

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

I used to feel FFLogs was beneficial, but have become more and more jaded recently by my interactions with certain aspects of the high-end community. Ideas of player skill and worth have become too heavily associated with parse percentiles. Players are pressured into this misguided value system, and some of the side effects have been.. really unpleasant.

The only good way to use fflogs is for comparisons against yourself.

There will always bee a bottom 1%. You could have the difference bettwen the top 1% and bottom 1% be 100 dps, and there would still be gray parses.

Sometimes the difference between getting blue and getting orange is only a few hundred dps.

People only focus on the % and color and don't understand meanings. It's why I hate the score graphs and such people always post.
