If you like. From where I’m sitting, it makes no sense at all to complain about the one and only mechanical difference between PvP servers and Normal servers, and talk about the way you played specifically to avoid it, from a PvP server.
And “she,” Terrible.
Everybody on the internet is a man, especially the women. ;D
Either you don’t know what “from scratch” means, or your perception of reality is terribly skewed, which would explain your entire line of thinking in this thread.
Your typical casual player will be about 50 right now, probably have at least one alt in the teens they kind of play when they have rest xp, and have been working on professions and getting their mount.
What I call a hardcore casual will have a 60 by now, have done a couple of end game 5 mans but that is about it.
What I call the ultra casual is sitting in their late 20’s and early 30’s, and probably have an alt or two right around 20.
I’m pretty casual at 45.
speaking just for myself here, but I just hit level 47 this morning. I made this character day 1 of release. Basically, I get 1-2 hours of play most nights (as I work 10+ hours 5-6 days a week) and try to at least set aside a good chunk of my off day(s) for play time. I think I pretty much qualify as “casual” so I imagine the casual player is probably 40+ at this point, assuming they focused on one character.
My highest is now 48
Considering I said I make the sauce from scratch, not the spaghetti, and sauce is not hard to make…
Anyway, nice attempt at trolling.
Everyone says “ oh if you don’t like PVP, then go to a PVE server!”
PVP servers are not restricted to just PVP 100% of the time. There are other things to do like quest, run dungeons , raid. Sometimes people don’t want to PVP all of the time and instead just want to focus on leveling to 60 so they can eventually participate in WPVP and BGs (at level 60). People like myself doesnt like PVPIng all of the time BUT likes the fact that I have the option to do so when I feel like it.
My friend and I have been playing about 12 hours per week since launch and we’re both 42. We haven’t followed any questing guides, but we also haven’t wasted time on non-leveling activities.
If you didn’t take advantage of the dungeon exploits early on, poop sock it, or strictly follow a leveling guide and play super efficiently, I’d say 40-50’s is probably the casual level range right now.
If I were comparing other hobbies, lets say knitting, photography, cooking… 5-10 hours/week seems more than casual to me as a hobby.
Let’s say I have children, and want them to have hobbies that include swimming, piano, and painting. Would I consider them casual hobbies, if they are only putting in 5-10 hours/week, or would I consider those their serious hobbies, while other things, such as flying a kite, which they may only do once every couple of months, as a casual hobby.
If you’re level 60 by now, you probably could have spent that same amount of time doing something like an online software development bootcamp, which does not advertise itself as casual.
Just some food for thought.
Yeah, and most players won’t make it to 60, same as happened in 04-06. A majority of /played time will be under 60, same as 04-06. The player population is way way more than the people who will make it to naxx, grind PvP ranks, or post on forums. Casual gamers are the majority of gamers, which means a few hours a night a few times a week. That’s probably why we saw the significant design changes to the version that’s now BFA… that’s how most people play, shorter bursts and not every day.
I think this is just coming down to different perceptions or uses of the word casual. If people who don’t get to 60 in a few months are below casual, what are the people who never get there at all? Because I would call that the majority of players, and would call it casual play.
Based on most people in this thread, myself and 4 other guildies who i have confirmed as fulltime, kids ect… in the 50s
Prolly 50s. The group Im with would probably be 50s but one of us had to go for a week so that cut our leveling by quite a bit.
I work 6 days a week, up to 10 hours a day depending on the day and what’s going on. I literally have no life except work. I’m currently about 25% away from 46. Sundays I try to play as many hours as I can. I’m definitely behind the average player on my realm, but not horribly so. Just enough to make it a little harder to get groups than if I could dedicate an extra 5-10 hours a week to the game.
So 40s actually. That’s the example of your situation, which you seem to be basing this off, and taking a break seems like something that would be considered casual.
Yeah I suppose that makes sense.
1-60.
Just because you’re capped and clearing MC/onyxia doesn’t mean you’re hard core.
That is me and I am 43.
Full disclosure I also leveled two toons to level 20 so I should probably be in the high 40s if I focused on one toon.
Altoholics (leveling several characters): mid 20s. (Hi mom!)
Single-character players: 60 or at least mid-50s.
Classic started 55 days ago. Almost 8 weeks. Even if leveling is a bit slower in Classic, I think a casual player can reach level 60 in 8 weeks.
