Simple definition for P99:
Hardcore raiding guilds = Awakened & Aftermath
Casual raiding guilds = all other guilds that raid regularly
So there's a spectrum of what "casual raiding" entails - you have the more serious casual raiders like Divinity, Anonymous, Rustle, CSG, etc., who have a small core of hardcore raiders but are generally accommodating to a more casual playstyle, and you have guilds that raid semi-regularly but don't really have that core of hardcore people like Infernus, Clue, Fires of Heaven, et al.

as a casual player I think casual raiding involves most or all of the following:
- no dkp
- no required raid attendance
- raids are generally impromptu, not scheduled
- lax about level requirements
- no tracking, socking, or batphones
not many guilds on p99 fit this bill, granted, but some do. I look at most guilds that raid as not-very-casual. they generally require a significantly higher time commitment than I and most casual players I know are willing to invest in the game. so it's hard for me to call this a definition of "casual raiding". suppose it's all relative.
and yes, I'm aware that following these guidelines will get you few if any high end targets, but I look at that as somebody else's problem. ain't worth it for me. being able to say that is probably a good a definition of "casual" as any.
