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

[Melichoir]

So a couple PFs I have joined for Alphascape Savage today and yesterday I was kicked from almost instantly, and every time I make a PF no one joins it? I am super confused about this, is it becasue I main Sam or is it because of FFlogs? I have heard a lot of people refusing to run with people who don't have good parses on FFLogs so idk...

edit: If i was kicked because of some kind of bad rep i have on my data center I would like to know about that too because I am completely lost on this I am on Aether Btw!

You pretty much answered your own question. Broadly, you have bad parses and people can see that on FFLOGs (which doesnt help you, of course), you are running Sam (which a lot of groups dont like outside of O12S from what I understand), or your reputation precedes you. You can gauge the last one pretty easily by playing a class thats equally geared and in demand (DRG as an example) and seeing if you get kicked almost immediately. If they hang onto you, its likely not a rep thing but probably being SAM. Also, just so you know even if you block your logs on FFLOGS, some groups will kick you anyways as theyll see it as you hiding something (aka you are a baddie in their eyes and are trying to hide it).

As for making your own group, Doing so as a DPS is gonna be harder especially if youre off meta. People generally look for parties that already have a few people in them, or have tanks/healers set.

I have to disagree with this: any content where logs are being uploaded is group content, therefore, the performance is not purely your own; Savage is a group effort, so the performance belongs to everyone in the group. Not just one person.

Just to expand on this, your damage is gonna be group reliant to a fairly good extent. What buffs you get, how well the healers or tanks are playing, how much other DPS are doing, etc will affect your "performance". As a point, youll do higher DPS in a good comp than you would solo against a training dummy typically. So it's not "just your performance and no one elses." Its very much a group activity, and there's no real way to pull just your performance out of it because of how things interact in party play.

I'm sure OP is just infamous in his data center now and getting kicked on sight. I know a couple who are like that on Aether.
