People who are bad are probably too stupid to understand that they are dealing low damage without numbers showing how much they deal.

Stupid? No, that's not the word I would use. Stupid would be knowing their performance is horrible and insisting it's still sufficient. Just kind of blissfully unaware, really.

I think a lot of players just don't have the opportunity to realise their performance is really bad until they come up against a situation like Bismarck (EX or Story, frankly I've Seen Some Runs)... and even then, without the information at hand to distinguish if they're doing something wrong, the automatic assumption is it isn't them. Group DPS checks are simultaneously one of the few chances where players can actually have to recognise their insufficiency, and can blame it on others.

Group parsers tend to bring other issues into play in games where they're introduced that cause a lot of friction and unfriendliness in general, but we do need some sort of measure in place for players to self-evaluate and actually discover the level they perform at.
