Parsing unfair but okay?

[KageTokage]

The only reason FFLogs bothers me is because it's generating a permanent performance record you cannot escape from as long you're partying with people running parsers, and players can/will aggressively judge you even in parties that don't explicitly state that they're checking your logs and what not. Hiding your logs is not a solution and tends to just make you subject to even more scrutiny.

I am happy doing enough DPS to clear and not be a liability; researching my job on the Balance discord and practicing my rotation until it's firmly ingrained in my memory, but I live in constant concern of running into closet elitists who expect more then is actually needed and the simple notion that the website enables this kind of behavior in the first place is irksome. And yes, I have been wordlessly kicked from reclear groups and blacklisted for reasons I can only assume to be DPS related (This was before the party had even finished filling so it was painfully obvious they were screening people).

FFLogs likely could've avoided abusive use by making it so anyone who is not registered on the website or is choosing to hide their logs basically doesn't exist and simply shows as "anonymous" in any parses involving them. The entire reason I even learned the website existed in the first place was because of someone telling me my FFLogs parses sucked (Which was pretty stupid considering I had like...one death-laden secondhand parse actually logged for the fight I was being criticized on which was a door boss).
