Built-in Parsers

They don't because they want players to figure it out, but that day has passed in MMO history.

And how exactly are you backing up this claim? People enjoy figuring it out. Theory-crafting rotations and stat weight is huge in MMOs

It's huge for a tiny amount of people relative to the population. When you get to the point where people are complaining about low dps overall to legitimize parsers in game, you've hit the point where theorycrafting has started to add negative value. The old theory of MMO game design was to hide stats for immersion's sake and to give those crafters something sticky to engage them, but there's no point in this game, which has very linear rotations, no variant builds, and a true BiS. It just winds up hindering performance because not many people go into the forum/website culture where you find those resources.
