New ToV Racing Rules

[khysanth]

I'm pretty sick of the casual/hardcore binary nomenclature.

This binary is the product of broader conflation of casual and hardcore. For one thing, casual itself isn't as cut and dry as many think. For example, some people are born casual (though, to be clear, this wouldn't necessarily bear on such an individual's raid identity).

It's often said that casual is what's between your legs and hardcore is what's between your ears. Although these categories are related, they don't neatly align for everyone. Casual runs along a broad spectrum of possibilities, and constricting raiding lifestyle options to only "casual" and "hardcore" inhibits the expression of this range of identities. A variety of common descriptors, such as hard-cas, soft-hard, and raid fluid, may more accurately describe an individual's play style.
