The new Viper changes are great

Logs are a good metric of game understanding. It's proof that you cleared something, and understood your job while you did. Other people are logging you, regardless of whether or not you're logging yourself, and it's proof (or a lack thereof) that you know what you're talking about. If you can't demonstrate that you're clearing content where things like Job design and balance matters, people will justifiably take issue with that.

You are correct that it is proof of completion, but the buck stops there. Anyone with high school level knowledge of statistics would know that data w/o context means nothing. It's insane to try to argue that less than 20% of my actual kills on a mob in an uncontrolled environment accurately reflects reality. Esp since most of the time I'm "tryharding" is in my static.

Also, that PF argument isn't the argument you think it is. You're using your complete data against incomplete data. In the few fights I did numerous times with pugs (alliance raids) in EW I had orange parses during the tier I was actively doing them (content I wasn't even taking 100% seriously either. mind you). Which, again, is data I did not even upload so it isn't complete. However, it does prove I can hit those numbers. This discredits any attempts at using incomplete information against me.

So yeah, your whole argument/attempt to discredit here is flawed right out of the gate tbh.
