That's not related to parsing. And both raider and casual in this thread have said that just not doing anything isn't okay. But the focus of the thread was on parsing and incremental changes in numbers and how that is supposed to improve the game for casual players.

It doesn't, because casual players don't focus on that. It just invites toxicity and negativity. And my point about respecting casual content is that things like numbers aren't as important in casual content. A clear can still happen by the game design because as others have said, the devs expect the strong players will help the weak. And many of the casual mindset are happy to do exactly that, because they understand there needs to be more leeway for different playstyles in the less hardcore content.

So as I said, casuals need to respect that harder content requires a focused mentality and playstyle. But raiders also need to respect that casual content requires a more flexible mentality and playstyle. Right now, as another poster mentioned, the raider side is trying to gatekeep and dictate who can even play the game at all, and that's just not right. There's room for everyone in this game.
