So do the casual players. This is not an argument of efficiency or playstyle or any of that shit. It's an argument of motivation. Players that are against parsers see the attitude of people like this:

As shitty, and thus see the proliferation of parsers in general as the game actively forcing them to play with people who will treat them like crap. This is the huge fucking disconnect that the raid-lifestyle players do not fucking get (which I can only assume is, generously, because they are too stupid to get it) and continue acting high and mighty about it as if numbers are somehow sacred.

Giving players tools to encourage excellence only work when a player is given time to use them. Given the current attitude of the raiding player-base like Ellatrix, a parser is worthless, because they won't give that time.
