It's hilarious to me that all the parsing min/maxers I currently know in this game -- actually fail just as much as my casual group of friends. When they fail, it immediately turns into a blame game and inevitably the weak dps'ers get called out. When we fail, we say things like "better luck next time" or "hey, we're making progress."

All of the guys I know who are parsing everything, are miserable. They hate people in general and they only have fun if they're "winning". Meanwhile, without the use of a parser mind you, my casual group is getting just about the same number of "wins" while actually having fun and enjoying the company of our friends.

As a side note, I don't believe I've ever witnessed a parser being used constructively. Not. Even. Once...
