    Uh, don't do this. People who hide their logs are almost immediately ostracized because people assume you have something to hide. I cannot exactly fault the mentality. After all, why hide your logs unless they're exceptionally bad? In which case, the PF leader is rightfully concerned you will hold the group back. People are under no obligation to carry you through a clear simply because you want one.

    Nonetheless, I... have to agree with Apple Jinx here. We're missing an important detail because people typically aren't kicking anyone unless their FFlog page is hidden, extremely low or they've consistently screwed up mechanics. SAM may get meme'd on but people don't kick them on site without a reason, especially since they can merely lock the party slots if they didn't want a SAM.

    If I've done a fight 50 times and of those 50 some random person uploaded 2 runs to fflogs. It's by no means an accurate representation of my ability.

    There's basically 2 ways you can go. One is hide your logs entirely.

    2 is parse and upload every single encounter you do. In order to maintain an accurate representation of your abilities.

    1 is infinitely easier than 2. And 2 is impossible anyway for many players on the ps4 or lower end pcs.

    There's also the fact a huge amount of people never look into the logs. Just the colour of a players name and there dps number...
    If you've done the fight fifty times, you have fifty parses which you could upload. Why are only two there? Contrary to popular belief, most players don't actually care if you're spotting greens or your median is trash, especially in a pug setting. I am far more apprehensive when I see hidden logs because I have no information to go on except your word. And a lot of people lie about their experience levels in this game. You're essentially demanding people potentially waste their time without giving them any frame of reference to work with, all because you don't want to upload parses. You don't have to like it, but it's their party and their rules. Personally, I won't kick immediately, however I will be far less patient with any mistakes you make because I almost have suspicions you're hiding something. Should you start screwing up mechanics, you're only confirming said suspicions whereas if I could see your parses, I might be more inclined to help.

    that's totally wrong doing a fight 50 times doesnt mean i have 50 parses at all. unless of course you're assuming or expecting the entire playerbase has ACT running all day everyday. and uploads everytihng.

    If you've cleared it fifty times, you either elected not to run ACT—therefore you chose not to parse—or miraculously came across equally minded people 96% of your clears, thus they didn't upload anything either. The likelihood of this borders on impossible given how ubiquitous parsers are in Savage content nowadays. Someone is virtually guaranteed to be running one. And they are quite likely to upload it. If it isn't Savage... no one cares.

    the only fights that come to mind that anyone has done 50+ times are extreme primals, and I dont think people really care about parses for those as the DPS checks are super light and get lighter as time goes on. I've only encountered people looking up peoples' logs when we're progging Savage and have to replace a static member through PF so we can gauge whether or not we'll make the DPS check.

    I still think the OP's problem is likely related to something other than parses.
