getting kicked from end game pfs as soon as I join?

I can understand why you would want to hide your logs. I'm a ps4 player and as such I can't control what's updated. I've often found that my runs where I have an off day and maintain a constant Brink of Death will be uploaded, but my runs where I'm on fire and outdamaging several dps combined are nowhere to be found. What really gets me is I can't even ASK to have runs uploaded because someone in the party might have a hissy fit and report me.

Just the downsides of career pugging

Asking someone to upload will not get you reported and your a ps4 player so you can't get in trouble for it.

Asking someone to upload will not get you reported and your a ps4 player so you can't get in trouble for it.

Could get someone else reported though. Would be risky for someone to respond to such a request in a group of randoms by agreeing to upload logs as that would be an admission of parsing.

If people don't learn how to take advice about their jobs, they won't improve on their rotation.

Honestly with alphascape it feels like people lost any tolerance for any mistake and expect people to perform like robots, in party finder, where you get what you get - all types of skill and fight knowledge - I don’t get it, if you get a bad group, just find another (there are plenty), plus the fights are like 9 mins long so it’s not exactly much time wasted.

If people want reliability and higher chances of clearing, just form a static group?

A lot of people don't want that bc they like the flexibility they have in PF. They can just hop in whenever they want and if they don't want to go on just leave.

Imo there is nothing wrong with raiding via PF and still wanting some sort of reliability and standards to be met, but the party leader has to be aware that his search for party members just might take longer and he might get some "bad apples". Tho, I agree a lot of people in PF should chill more and don't be so fierce, but that's up to each person.

For OP I can only say: try to shake it off. It happend twice so it's not really a regular thing and a lot of people still dislike SAM (even more when you are still learning the class aka have greyish logs, bc your bare pDPS is basically all a SAM has to offer), so just try to improve and move on.

Oh you can also keep your logs to yourself if you want to because you can tell them that you don't want your character name in there.

You can only toggle rankings visibility and sidebar visibility. Neither of those hide your character name from other people.

Hiding sidebar visibility doesn't seem to do anything noticable, the site doesn't even explain what that option does. Hiding rankings slaps a giant "this person wanted to hide his logs" text on on your character page. That's seemingly made on purpose so that people don't ever want to hide their logs in fear of getting ridiculated and are forced to keep their information in there. If there's something I'd change in the site, I'd give users an option to 1. Make others unable to find your character name in search. 2. Make your character page empty without big "I'm a scrub text". 3. Flag your character as a ps4 user.

Rule #1 never admit that you use a parser because there are people who just wait for an opportunity to report you for that.

It is possible, don't say it isn't because there are enough ANONYMUS people in there. You just can't do it yourself as far as i know.

Logs are not much useful today, because poisoned by all the BiS groups running multiple log runs at o9s and making a normal, legit performance of someone at i370 appear like garbage.
Log runs and clears are two different things.

And yes, run savage with friends is the best thing you can do. The "very best" of community is there so you don't need to be upset about the behaviour you find there.

That's quite an exaggeration tbf. Just because some groups do logruns (which is perfectly fine idk why you make it sound like a bad thing?), the percantages of rankings are not screwed. Slightly impacted? Maybe, but it's not "poisoned". lol
Also what do you mean with "normal" and "legit" performance? Just because some players have more skill they are not legit anymore? How so?
