“I wouldn’t consider anything to be casual content so there isn’t any casual content.” Is definitely a take.
I’m casual
It’s all open to interpretation and subjective to the player.
Even the term “casual” doesn’t have an agreed upon definition.
I can only tell you what I do ingame. I goof off. I do the open world content, I avoid grouping up with others but love having other players around.
I do questing and when thats done or I think I’ve done enough, I get my characters to a certain ilevel and then I stop, take a break.
That’s me. Others do other things. Blizzard has taken notice of people like me and how I play and have given us more options and choices to encourage us to stick around and for the most part it’s worked out pretty well and I’m glad of that.
You say you’re a casual player. What does that mean to you?
For me it’s doing the quests and following the story.
I like that follower dungeons have been added.
As a casual i find PvP to be pretty casual friendly right now. But you still need to play relatively well, know which are the helpful websites for gear, etc., and have some gold for enchants/crafting.
You will most likely never get a consistent definition for that, as it changes for nearly every person.
For me personally, it’s anything that doesn’t require a group, with the exception of world quest events and community events like the soup or the siege, where I’m just part of the crowd.
Idk depends
Is somebody who plays 7 hours a day leveling alts casual
Is somebody who plays 200 arena games a season to glad hardcore
Guess it’s a mixture of attitude, content level and time invested?
I mean, this is going to vary from person to person.
I think I am pretty casual because I don’t do rated PvP or raid Mythic. I maybe clear Heroic and get AotC now and then at the most.
But you are here all like:
I think because I used to be in Mythic Raiding guilds years ago, I am casual compared to how I played before. So, it’s a perspective type of thing.
lmao…the reason you all cant pinpoint it is because you refuse to just accept the DEFINITION of the word ‘casual’ and keep trying to TELL us what it means.
Casual ISNT an ACT…its the MINDSET the act is performed in
Casual: " relaxed and unconcerned"
pretty much ANYTHING can be done in that frame of mind.
its how SERIOUS you take what youre doing…REGARDLESS of what it is that you are doing

im casual. i do old raids for transmog and collections, and LFR and open world content. will be doing casual delves in war within
…and it no wonder given what I posted above, lmao.
I know guys who fish casually, barely catch anything, toss back what they do catch…and they spend 3 straight days and nights doing it.
Another fisher is very strict about his schedule, where he fishes, the exact gear he uses and only fishes a few hours a month.
on this joke forum the first guy is the hardcore fisherman because of time spent while the 3 hour a month guy who has a $100k fishing boat is ‘casual’ because he only has a few hours a month to fish
Casual is how serious the person takes what their doing…period…thats it…THAT is the definition…and THAT is why this forum will NEVER come to terms with what ‘casual’ actually means lmao…because THEY want to define the word instead of letting the definition itself tell us what it is
Casual: “relaxed and unconcerned”
Do what you enjoy at your speed, which is slow, that is fine and makes you a casual.
Casual is more of a mindset than anything else. Even high end raiders can raid casually.

Not sure i believe that. Would like more input.
I am a casual solo and can only speak for myself.
I:
a) explore
b) quest
c) craft
d) collect transmog and mounts
e) solo old dungeons
f) solo old raids
g) grind expansion features like the tournament in Northrend (which I think is the best and more inventive thing Blizzard has ever done) and the farm in Pandaria
h) pet battle to collect pets
i) holiday events when I feel like it
j) and, during all that, I am coming up with headcanon for my characters and why they are doing these things and how it is impacting them

The type of content can be casual or hardcore.
Doing world quests would be casual content.
The way you approach that content can be casual or hardcore.
You can be an hardcore world quester that do hundreds of them every week.

This makes a lot of sense. Would you say you can do high end raiding and be casual? Are high end raids casual? And/or do high end raid guilds take people who approach the content casually?
I don’t really believe either of those… If high end raiding was casual friendly EVERYONE would be doing high end raiding.
its what they tell themselves in order to sleep better at night
Casual content is anything you can play without taking it seriously, and the fact that you don’t take it seriously does not upset the people around you.
