This game is already completely anti community, we don't need to add anymore fire to it, we already have people refusing to help players learn content. And no I'm sorry watching a number doesn't help you, actually sitting down and trying different skills and using buffs at certain times help. Parse doesn't do that, it doesn't tell you "Hey because your number is 500 you should use this skill first, then this buff, followed up by this skill then that one to increase your number to 700." The player finds that out by actually practicing, it's like playing a fighting game and thinking basic free training will help you learn advanced combos for example, Street Fighter.
1) How are you supposed to know that you need to improve?
2) How are you supposed to know that the changes you made to your rotation improved your numbers?
3) How are you supposed to know how much is possible to pull in a real fight that includes mechanics?

Parser answers all these questions. So yeah... Parser is a tool that shows you that you need to practice, and that your practice is going the right way.
Trying to up your DPS without a Parser is like trying to improve your times as an athlete without a stopwatch.

And before you come with an argument (that was already here several times) that "who cares about numbers, as long as content is cleared"... CONTENT IS NOT getting cleared! STORY CONTENT at that!
