Maybe I'm just someone of the morality that I want to get better on my own. Growing and learning, not be told by a program that I should've casted F4 when I casted F1. If you need Discord to have someone shouting where to move in a raid, do you really deserve the reward at the end? You didn't learn the fight, you followed a marker.

Good luck!
That's not what parsing does. Parsing doesn't tell you what to do. Parsing just tells you how much damage you did. That's literally it.

You then have the option to use other tools that compare your damage with other people's, and you can then see if you're doing good or bad. There are then other tools that show you what the other people are doing, so that you can maybe use that to improve.

The vast majority of people only use parsing to see if they're on the same level as the other players in their role. So if you're a DPS and the fucking tank ends up doing more damage than you, you at least have the awereness that there's probably something you should be looking into. lol
