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

[Absurdity]

it's just common sense
nobody is gonna argue with me when I say the official forums userbase comprise maybe 0.5-1% of the entire active playerbase
nobody would argue with me when I say raiders are maybe 1-5% of the entire active playerbase
and nobody will argue with me when I say pf is maybe 1-5% of the entire raiding playerbase

I absolutely would argue that these numbers are nonsense, doesn't even take me a minute to pull up the luckybancho numbers for savage participation last raid tier

again what is your source?
the vast, vast majority of the 28 million registered players never interact with pf, and of the small minority of those who raid, they will raid with their own group of 7 other friends and never, ever interact with the rest of the game population.

At this point its pretty obvious you're a troll.

another thing is finding a static is basically the the job application process complete with resumes (fflogs) Also if you are lucky enough to get one there's always the risk of showing up for work one day only to find the business has closed or your idiot co-worker managed to burn the place down and you need to do it all over again.

or you could just pf it and maybe clear the fight right now also depending on how things go at "work" you may just and up using pf anyways

Top 50 is just bragging, a clear is a clear. I'd be surprised if top 50 uses PF for parse runs anyways.
