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
"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.
