Does casual have to mean “durrr head in sand invite people in greens, I’m dumb as dirt never played the game”
Raiding is raiding. Coming raid prepped doesn’t mean you’re not casual. That’s absurd.

Semi-hardcore is the real casual for raiders. True casual means other people are not required to be raid prepped. And those people will drag you down and cost you time and money. And eventually you will jump ship for a more prepared raid group. It always plays out that way. Always. Or you simply won’t progress despite your preparedness.
Also false. Don’t require full consumes every raid from all people and we made progress just fine. Even casuals want to get consumes though so a lot of people do.
You have no idea what you’re talking about. Full consumes doesn’t make or break downing bosses. Having intelligent people who can play the game does.
Casual players aren’t morons, and will be able to full clear t5 as well as retain membership just fine.

Consumes do make the difference in clearing Kara for example in 90 minutes instead of 120…
And, if you are considering Mana pots a consume, than no, you really would have a very hard time doing Kara without consumes.
You’re wrong. What you described is semi-hardcore, not true casual. What happens in casual guilds is that some raid members will come unprepared, and when progress can’t be made due to lack of DPS or heals, other raid members will stop coming prepared as well, because they don’t want to pick up the slack for the slackers. Seen it happen over and over. Casual guilds just can’t handle the more difficult content because of this and end up being revolving doors and eventually disbanding or stop raiding.
Wow 30 minutes! That’s not the difference between downing a boss, you literally didn’t address anything I said and inserted some nothing talking point to try to prove a point I don’t care about. You can shut your dumb mouth now.
And yes you can easily clear Kara without mana pots, you’re a joke if you can’t. Mana pots can be down ranked for cheap either way, so aren’t even gated much.

Parsing is fine… overvaluing parsing is not. There is so much gimmick that goes into being in the top 10% of parses …that it devalues most parses…
The better the entire raid is… the better the individual parses will be… Basically the quicker the fight the better the parse…
Why are you getting so toxic? I haven’t insulted you (yet).
And for your birthday, I guess you wish for a brain? Because, as stupid as you seem to be, you probably only have some mush where a brain should be.
So why don’t you go outside and lick your ugly pandaren somewhere where the sun don’t shine?

I’m not toxic, you are toxic, I’m just calling you out for your BS. Have a problem hearing a reflection of what you say and someone refuting your stupid points?
Of course you do, because you’re dumb.
It 1000% absolutely can.
Wow… Take a lap…
It’s all relative. You can down Kara without pots. It just means you’re running more healers and/or stopping to drink a lot more. But then Kara is easy.
SSC/TK, forget BT/Hyjal are much much much harder. It may mean the difference between a 120 or 90 minute Kara clear… but in any of the coming raid content it could literally mean the difference between meeting a dps check or having enough mana to keep the tank up .
What’s triggering is I did 1400-1500 dps on my rogue on netherspite last night and we did not log it.
You can full clear SSC with 0 consumes.
Casual or hardcore raiding… Flasks, elixirs, potions… Really doesn’t matter. Imo, mechanics are the main reason people have problems clearing content. “Don’t stand in the fire!”.
I have seen it many times. People trying to finish their cast before moving out of… Rock fall, black circle, fire & either straining the healer or out right dying… and why? … Because they want to have a good parse.
Gtfooh!
Maybe eventually once we’re all in T6. I guarantee you you won’t be clearing SSC with zero consumes any time soon.
Cool story tho

“I don’t want to play with bad players in a game designed to have numerical check marks to progress in the content, and those said bad players aren’t helping but actively hindering us from meeting those check marks.”
“GATEKEEPING REEEE”
I get why you post on TBC forums with a retail goblin, especially since retail does the thing that fixes this problem, which is LFR, a mode designed to literally be able to see the content regardless of performance.
It’s for sweaty try hards to feel like they matter.

There is a vast difference between 90% and 99% parses. Without WF or Lust I’m still parsing purples in Kara, with 2 notable exceptions. While it feels bad to not have what could add hundreds raw dps, and hundreds more with how it combos with my on demand burst, I’m still outputting respectable damage.
Not getting innervate or PI won’t make or break your parse. Yeah, it’ll be “lower”, but it’s not dropping you by whole brackets.

NGL, I did go and look you up after you said this. I’m not deep diving to see old grays, but good work on those legendary parses. Keep it up king.
Had a 1400-1500 netherspite last night and it wasn’t logged sad day
