I can't tell you how many times, I've tuned into a "Known Streamer" raiding, to see them getting angry, pulling up someone in the teams parse and ragging on them in a very public and demeaning manner. It's also let to this obsession that DPS > Everything which is leading to healers forgoing their primary role to spam damage because they don't want to be yelled at.
I think for every "know streamer" there are 10s of thousands of non-streamer players who just want to enjoy end game content and improve themselves. You just don't notice them because they mind their own business and don't bother other people. It's a bad message to send to new players that this game doesn't allow parsers, because they will not be able to find the programs easily. If these self-help tools were made available then you would be helping a lot of players better enjoy their gameplay experience.
