I've also seen people seek friends out to parse them on a dummy or over a dungeon run (surprisingly often, they're worried less about their fixed rotation than their number sense and general priorities, so to speak, which a longer run may bring more insight towards) because either they can't get theirs to work or are on PS3/4. There certainly are those players who at present are without parsers but can nonetheless make use of them. They're no huge crowd, but they're not mythical creatures.
You seem to misunderstand what I said. I'm guessing you missed my ealier posts. Basically, those kinds of people are already seeking help. They didn't need to have a parser shoved in their face with actual numbers to want to improve. Someone told them they weren't doing great, so they got better. They didn't need the game literally telling them their exact numbers to get better. What we have now was enough. We know it's enough because you've literally just said so. There didn't need to be an in-game parser for that to happen. Likewise, I'm not denying the other type of person either. The one that doesn't want to improve and tells you to stuff it. An in-game parser isn't going to make them suddenly want to get better. Even if people like that actually see the number in front of their face, they won't improve. So again....these magical reasonable players that need to see actual parsing data in game and go "Oh, maybe I was bad, I'll be a good DPS now" don't exist. And the ones people claim to exist are trying already, without parsers in-game.

The only thing the parser in-game allows for is shoving your number into the face of people that don't care for them, good or bad.
