I use to theorycraft for my linkshell in ffxi before parsers were knowingly available, so I did it all by hand; let me tell you, I had several 2" binders full of numbers taken from a PS2 log and equations they plugged into. I was still young enough then to be able to devote time to doing such and didn't much mind doing so to help friends, but having a program to log and compile all of that information would have shaved hours upon hours off of the process as I could take the compiled data and plug it into formulas and be done with it within minutes rather than half a day or so.

Telling someone to do all of this by hand is ridiculous when there are programs available to collect the data for them. If the game's theorycrafting community had the same attitude no one would know; accuracy caps, optimal rotations, optimal cooldown timing, true value of primary stats, when secondary stats become more valuable then primary stats and which secondary stats are of highest value to which class and when.
