    I had a MNK yesterday in The Burn doing less DPS than everyone else. A MNK WHOSE DPS WAS BEING OUTDONE BY THE TANK AND THE HEALER. The other DPS was a SMN.

    BUT, THE TANK AND THE HEALER.

    I don't expect people to be 99th percentile, I expect them to try and be competent, and half of the time they can't even get that. A parser would at least tell them that their damage per second is awful.

    Honestly, I look at people who have this exaggerated and paranoia fear of parsers as people who are afraid of finding out the truth that they're not as hot as they think they are, and I ain't perfect either. But, people can see that I at least try and relatively know what I'm doing.
    A person who doesnt bother to improve his gameplay will not magically become better for having a parser, similar on how people dont play tanks despite all the bonus they keep putting for playing as one including faster queues, exlusive mounts, role bonus etc

    Thats not a person whos learning his rotation, thats a person whos pressing buttons randomly sometimes without even bothering to read the skill descriptions. Everyone has had those kind of players (thanks god not very often) and you dont need a parser to know they suck (comes to mind a lv 70 Dragoon spamming impulse drive ONLY, or a Pala spamming Rage of Halone without the proper combo with aggro all over the place because not only aoe was too advanced for him he did lose aggro on single target as well) and if they didnt even bother to read what the hell their skills do, parser wont do anything for them to improve since theres 0 motivation to do so to begin with
