If you are are a person that has say two level 60 toons you probably spend less time raiding on them then people spend leveling up on say a 50 toon.
Who is Hard Core? The person that spends 20 hours a week leveling or 20 hours a week tracking, killing top end content?? Seems the same to me but the 60's are being bashed to hell on here. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

The original point of the thread was to introduce a new way of thinking about other players. If you see someone with a guild tag <The Mystical Order> some people directly assume they are in-game 100 hours a week. Then you have individuals who see a person with a guild tag like <The Alliance> and think that the player is weak and only raids crushbone (thats a joke btw...).
Make no mistake, guild tag doesnt define the players ability, dedication or entitlement. It's good to hear respect from both ends though. | ||

For me back in the day, the definition between the two were:
Casual: Plays the game on their own time, when they can fit it into their schedule. Hardcore: Plays the game in place of doing other things in their life. The game is an important aspect. You then get fine lines with the definitions, like "so a disabled person who can only reliable play a video game like everquest does so 100 hours, is he casual because he can't do anything else?" Eh, well, if EQ is a major part of his life then he is hardcore. Same thing with a person who only plays 5 hours a week, but that entire 5 hours is the result of responding to a batphone. They actively block out time in their day to play a game. I'd say most people in the "2nd tier" raid guilds or higher would be categorized as Hardcore players. They play the game in place of doing other things in life. Is this bad? Not necessarily. There are good people here, and socializing in a game vs socializing in a bar is a much better prospect for many, so it is no way a bad term. But lets all be honest, the fact that any of us play a 15 year old game makes us pretty hardcore. And i don't even play that much anymore :/
