    I can't even begin to state how wrong you are, parsing doesn't have to be some e-peen contest, it's immensely useful in end game raids to know this sort of information.

    Not to mention, when a tank forgets a cooldown/doesn't position right, you know its the tanks fault.
    When a healer doesn't heal or runs out of mana or overheals, you know its a healing problem.
    When a DPS isn't DPSing, its hard to pinpoint which of the 4 isn't pulling their weight or who is struggling to DPS as well as deal with mechanics sometimes. if you're smart and know the fights you'll know why certain classes like blackmages will suffer in high mobility fights, compared to melee's etc.

    Not to mention most of the DPS in my group love the parse, they literally aim to beat their previous best every time we go into a turn and it's great to see them constantly improve.
