Parsing unfair but okay?

The thing is if you do that, people will instead assume you're trying to hide bad performance and judge you anyways so you can't really win either way unless you're willing to actively grind out parse runs which will still inevitably be "not good enough" for someone out there if they aren't orange.

Had multiple PFs back in Stormblood that straight up refused to queue into the instance until I unhid my performance, but thankfully I was "good enough" by their standards.

Far more often than not, people who hide their logs are doing so because they have horrendous performances they don't want anyone to know about. Having a couple random greys because someone uploaded a Normal or 24 man won't matter to anyone you'd want to associate with. Completely hiding your logs makes it so the group you're joining has no point of reference. They have to simply take you at your word. Unfortunately, a lot of people lie.

Of course, there are exceptions. I know a speed killer who keeps her logs hidden despite achieving some top five performances but that is extremely rare.

Yea I'd like to think that if all the logs you have over time show an improvement that will matter a lot more than individual bad logs.

They undoubtedly will. One of the first things I look for during static recruitment is your percentile trajectory and consistency. One orange is a sea of greens tells me you aren't improving but simply got really luck one run where a health amount of low purples shows you have a finer gripe on your job but haven't quite hit the high end potential. There's room to grow.

In addition to this, while recruiting I find a lot of people who hide their logs generally have really irrational feelings or anxiety surrounding discussions of performance, which is NOT a good characteristic for someone joining a raidgroup.

I've encountered some really insane hostility from people whom I've prodded about their hidden logs during recruitment. It almost feels like people like that apply to groups just to fish for reactions that confirm their bias and feed their outrage.
