Great Community Btw

I'd wager that when the plugin updates it counts as a download or something like that. But regardless, we're still looking at "Millions" which is a far cry from a minority.

Then you really dont understand how mmorpgs work, there is always a HUGE wave at each xpac with only a small percentage staying after the first few months.
And considering during the end of SHB and start of endwalker was the moment the most wow tryhards arrived, it makes absolutely sense the downloads would be that high since it would be one of the first things these kinds of players download.

And dont assume people who use ACT are parse obsessed tryhards either, many people who use ACT just use it as a personal display to check if they are beating people on dps or not and feel good, not much else, and of course never mention it or show it on streams

So you are definitely talking about a small tiny minority

Take solace in the fact that forum culture and game culture are nearly completely different circles. People here are honestly some of the worst I've seen in awhile, but they're all just jerks who type here because they can. Moderation seems like a no-go here, and I imagine they don't look often for input either since everyone's pretty nasty. My game experiences are still largely positive, even if there's a few more assholes. That's to be expected with a player spike. My advice is to not come here, or at bare minimum don't come here often and only post and don't reply.

Agree with all of this.

"Parsers are likely used by more than just hardcore raiders, which totally means it's actually just a tiny minority of players." 2 + 2 = 1? Also, don't act like millions of subs, even if just for a month per patch drop, isn't a huge amount of money per year.
