it helps that the game has far more scripted damage - it’s entirely possible to avoid taking any at all. There are downsides to it tho, and fights are generally less interactive and more a dance because of it.

leading down to preference, which is why I love ff14 raiding, and avoid wow raiding like the plague.
Honestly, my ideal MMO would be a mix of the two.
A more free-form and vibrant open world, with class variations possible and lateral power options that also values your time: you can progress through a variety of pathways to the same goal.

When I’m raid leading and looking for pugs to fill a slot, and see that the logs are private, that person is not getting an invite.
For me logs are there to check for grey and green parses. These people will slow down your raid, and enough of them will cause wipes.
Imagine wanting to join an open-enrollment adult slow-pitch softball league with no barrier of entry outside of self-created ones, and people insisting you provide proof you used to be in the MLB.
This isn’t a job. This is a game. The only fake barriers are ones you create.

Lol how can the game cater to 1% when you can beat it with green items and quest rewards ?
1% players have their own game, gray parsers have their own. They don’t want to befriend with you, but you want to join them to be carried ? Have some self-esteem, my dude. Find your own league and play with them, you can still beat this game on your own instead of hoping to leech on others.
In case you bring your bandwagon “elitism”, I am a green-blue-purple parser, and I don’t mind those top 1%.
People treat no logs like grey logs.
This really isn’t doing much for you.

New mini-game unlocked:
Every time someone posts insisting they’re “log checkers”, “in favor of logs”, “logs help them avoid bad groups” - actually look them up. Look them up on checkpvp/rio/etc - find their alts they’re hiding - and look their logs up.
Great example is several of ya’ll insisting otherwise in here have a lifetime highest of sub 80 while “refusing to take people who have logs on private”
what do you consent for by signing up for the site? hehe what are WCL terms of service? Cause maybe they make cash on the side selling active email lists etc etc. I can think of people who fall into the parsehole as having an interesting demographic profile that may make them susceptible to certain marketing tactics.

If you are too worried about your parses, play heal or tank. None gives af about their parses. My guild healer has to ask for solo healing entire gnomer to have 99% parses.
I’m ok with that, if you’re already offended or upset from just that alone its best you stay away for the sake of your own sanity. Hats off to you for finding your safe place.
Having a game I play for fun being turned into a job does even less for me.
Oh no, I can’t get into a pug because the leader is insecure. Heaven save me.
Honestly, u are letting these people live rent free in your head and it’s ruining ur leisure time. Just start putting these people on ur ignore list so you don’t see raids ur not going to be invited to or accidently do them a favor. Sometimes out of sight is really out of mind.

Nope!
Check my logs, who gives a F, I don’t care to get into Gomer anyhow and will still beat the breaks off anyone in PvP.

oh, definitely. I was just highlighting that there is a good reason for hiding logs, even if it is temporarily.
this was the problem though – until we get progression down and have the boss on farm, it is likely their best parse would be high grey or low green, which is why the first few lockouts were private/unlisted for us.
we’re a pretty casual group. our highest parsers barely get into blue territory, but we clear the raid every lockout so /shrug. I just don’t want a grey parse to show as their highest while we get progression down in case they have to pug for some reason and the pug leader looks up logs.
haha really its a 20 year old game, that absolutely has nothing to with real life. You need to get outside more
