It really is a mess and useless anytime there is NPC conversation nearby (which is surprisingly often)
Is this still a thing? The auto-scrolling down? I've stopped looking at the logs because of that. Please, do remove the auto-scroll. Cause yes, it's a pain and renders the logs useless.
Every time I try to check previous entries (banters or combat logs), I can't because a new entry is added (NPCs talking, bards singing...) and it scrolls to it.
I also agree that the combat logs are a bit of a mess. It feels like trying to figure out a secret code. Not ideal.
Speculations time :
Possibly, they might have decided to improve the logs last. A reason could be that it's a feature that need everything else to be done before being polished? Or at least, it would be more convenient for them to do that after most other features are done.
And since, right now, it just screams "Work in progress!" (to me at least), I'm willing to bet we will see it improved on full release (so not necessarily during EA).
