Parsers add replayability for casual players

[Absurdity]

I have to politely disagree with the title, if not also the philosophy, while at the same time marginally agreeing with the possible goal. I know, convoluted, so let me explain, lol

First, the title: I feel that casual players wouldn’t ever be interested in a parser. Seems contradictory to being “casual” because in my experience, casual players actually are interested in running content for the fun of it without need to gauge performance.

The moment you want to gauge performance and improve upon it, to me that’s the first step away from being casual. I know there’s still a lot of steps to get to a point of being “hardcore”, but like I said, it’s still a step, and one I feel most casual players don’t actually care about.

Just because you play a game casually doesn't mean you can't care about your performance, especially when it can be pretty "fun" to see that you're doing well or that you're improving.

I honestly don't know where this idea came from that casuals need to automatically be fine with mediocrity at best because they're "just casuals"
