Gonna skip over all the completely ludicrous and tangential talk about whether or not FFLogs is an invasion of privacy somehow and just point out that the vast majority of judgement that comes from bad logs only comes from PF parties and that in my own personal experience if you're looking to clear content while parsing in the grey just join a static. I'd hazard that 90% of them are like my old group and generally give a crap more about attendance consistency and personality than actual output. Not to say you can be total pants-on-head and still find a group, but I feel like a huge bulk of problems people have with "the endgame community" should be instead translated to "pugging sucks", which is true in any MMO IMO.

Yes, I know all of you work 60-hour weeks with 6 kids and a dog and volunteer at the local soup kitchen on your only day off in the week for 12 hours but I promise that if you scrounge around PF and the server subforums and Reddit you can find a group that will fit your schedule. Because here's the thing: a static will be interested in growing with you, because that has actual tangible benefits for them. A pug group? Odds are they'll never see you again, so better to minimize risk from the get-go and impress high standards from the start so as to increase the odds of success of a run.
