I am not suggesting that an individual shouldn't use logs, or that is stupid, or that I do not understand their function. I said I don't see the point for using them in Classic, since the raids are easier, strats are very well known, and that gear plays a larger role than skill in defeating the bosses, and, that given the absence of complexity in the raids themselves and in player rotations (to be fair, warriors were probably a lot busier then), the value of using logs to analyze performance does not seem to be crucial to me. You can look at my armory, Ulthrakk, US-Illidan, and see my raiding history; I'm no Mythic raider, but I have completed raids all the way back to BC, when they were relevant. I stopped raiding in BfA for RL reasons.
Lastly, it is nearly a consensus opinion on these forums that the Classic raids, due to player knowledge and, to a lesser extent, the conditions of the 1.12 patch, that raids will be faceroll, and guilds will be clearing them almost as soon as they can get into them. When I do see someone suggest it might take a little longer, it is never because complexity is an issue, it is always a question of gear and having people stay focused and committed. So I ask; if the raids are so easy, why the need for a level of scrutiny that logs provide, which are of great value to a Heroic/Mythic raider on retail?
