Why does everyone use PF as a representation of the game?

[SeiyaSoiya]

I mean, the weaker jobs are being excluded for the top tier statics as well and have the lowest number of clears on the log website. I wouldn't say PF is a "representation" of the game, but the large majority of people doing end game are pugging them through PF. Hardcore/midcore statics are the minority.

that's not true, week 1, day 1 and world first statics had MCH RDM RPR PLD and WAR in them

One of the most popular streamers and notorious WAR simp switched off his main job because GNB completely dunked all over WAR. The margin for error week 1 was so ridiculously tight due to the poor job balance running a comp which included all the jobs you listed had a less than 1% chance of clearing due to crit variance. In fact, none of those jobs cleared as a comp together. They all cleared with some other meta combination.

So yeah, this is complete nonsense.

Edit: To further emphasise my point. As someone who cleared door boss week 1. My 41% ranked Dark Knight clear matched the 100% logs of Warrior and Paladin. That's utterly insane.
