    You do not "need" to see your numbers for you to learn (there are plenty of players who have improved themselves without a parser). However, if you don't see your numbers, you may be unaware that you are doing poorly. There is very little incentive to improve yourself if you don't realize that you need improving.

    I don't think that people who don't want to get better without a parser will want to get better with a parser. I think that some people would want to self improve, but don't realize there is room for improvement.

    I have never seen anything positive ever come from parsers.
    Again more anecdotal evidence in this thread. I personally have never seen anything negative come from parsers, and have seen plenty of positive come from them - and I have used parsers in various games (i.e. WoW, Wildstar). I have, however, seen negative encounters which would have been cleared up with a parser (i.e. lowest DPS player yelling at the team for missing a DPS check and picking out the top DPS player and chastising them for doing poorly).

    Except, it kinda is. Everything in this game is very scripted and requires very specific DPS checks. It's very much, "you need a raid DPS of X to clear Y"

    There is also the point that certain buffs would be more effective if given to the highest DPS (i.e. helps an Astrologian decide who to apply balance to)
