    I still see no benefit to parsing someone, whether it be negative or positive. If this game was all about numbers I'd just hire an accountant to play the game for me.

    It's not all about the numbers all the time but there certainly are failures that come down to not having the dps numbers. Either you haven't experienced that in progression content or you are lucky enough to have a group that could pull it off out of the gates.

    I raided back when T5 was pre echo and most not even close to i90... We couldn't make all the dps checks. It was a problem, team worked on improving their numbers. We then had success. Sometimes it is about the numbers. And that is why we want to parse. Not because it is always about the numbers but that it sometimes is about them.

    Probably because you don't raid and/or your groups are drastically over-geared for whatever content you are pushing..let alone echo.

    Ignorance is bliss I guess.

    That's good and all. But for the players who are actually raiding the hardest difficulty content while it's current, could benefit GREATLY from being able to parse even just themselves during a raid.

    I'm all for the notion that everyone play how they want to play. Not everyone is a hardcore raider.
    But for ANYONE who genuinely wants to improve their own personal play, would greatly benefit from having a parser available to them.
    Even if it is just for themselves and not everyone (although it should be) it would benefit them.

    I don't care who you are. If you're playing this game, in no way shape or form would NOT being able to see your dps/damage done/hps/healing done be a GOOD thing.

    Well if you had ever beaten anything harder than a full echo t5 i might accept your argument but you might wanna put that accountant on retainer cause this whole game already is all about numbers, talk to us again when you lose a run 20 times to not meeting a dps check
