Haha this guy again. He got his Warlock logs roasted a few weeks back. Somebody find his Shaman please.
OHHH shoot, unlike reddit there is no pic here. My shamans name is Zoéy-proudmoore. And yes I saw that thread, it wasn’t me but someone tried to link my account to that person.
Most comments be like:
“How dare someone with a regular life can be be proud of doing something he/she worked towards in his hobby whitin a limited timeframe(like most working adults)?”
“i could do that if i wanted to but i never wanted to”
“i did that playing 12 hours a day because i am literally useless but i like living in this basement”
Congrats on your achievment, it is pretty impressive to do that in all roles.
Thanks sooo much!
This is not casual but congrats anyway.

ya i dont get the weird replies but
grats!
7 toons is impressive, mainly because i cba to ever play (much less gear) that wide a range of specs, especially not proficiently. i respect the time and grind
my alts are lucky if they see 2500 lol.
What do you define as casual? Those vault Saturdays didn’t happen a lot. Most of my casual friends, the ones who do world quests, alt leveling, etc play ALOT more than I do. I feel like the average wow player plays around 10-15 hours a week.

Yeah it’s totally not you Stephie. Just happens to have the Warlock in question attached to your account.
I think the OP and i have very different ideas on what casual means lol

idk there are two competing definitions of casual
people who play extremely low hours per week (like an hour or 2 a day or only a few hours on weekends) but do any kind of content with that time, m+, pvp, raid, etc
or
people who primarily do world and other non-competitive content. low keys, maybe heroic raid? without a really defined time frame that they play
what casual truly is idk. im definitely casual because i play maybe 2-3 hours a week atm but thats just because ive been playing games in general a lot less and the few hours i spend gaming usually isnt spent on wow for the time being

Casualness is based on how much time someone plays. The content is irrelevant, because people will always view something else as hard. For me, M+ and raid is easy, making gold, level toons, mount/pet hunting, and professions, that is HARDCORE AF for me, I could never do those things.
As mentioned above, the content type does not dictate how casual someone is, it’s the time played. I like you play other games, league of Legends, rocket league, Beamng, FS2020 and have a very busy social life.

Casual is not a subjective term, it is someone that dedicates very low amount of time weekly for an activity.
15 hours a week is 9% of the dude total time in that week, so ya, its casual.
The dude that plays 25+ hour or more a week is not casual, doesnt matter if all he does is RP or collecting, he is dedicating far too much time.
Time spent is what determine if you are casual or not.
Ratings determine if you suck or not.
Yeah, that really isn’t how being casual is really defined, but grats to you i guess!

Thank you! Like I said, if you one a subjective POV of casualness, then sure but the my POV of hardcore would be my crafter friend who has every profession fully maxed. Or my WoW Mom that has 50 level 70s or my guildies that camp rare spawns and mount drops all day. Those people to be are WAY more hardcore than I ever was.
i think the most hardcore ive played this season is when i went on a transmog/mount/rep farming binge
Casual is how someone plays, not just how much time someone plays. If I play 5 hours a day and 3.5 of those are spent sitting in the center of Valdrakken talking in chat or waiting on a heroic dungeon queue, that’s far more casual than OP spending 2 hours chain running +18s or whatever they said they do.
OP min-maxes their time, they aim to be highly efficient with it so as not to waste any in pursuit of progressing the highest difficulty content WoW has to offer. OP said they averaged 15 hours per week over the course of the last four months. They also said they played “a lot”, so even if time spent is your criteria, OP fits, because most of the legwork was likely done when they were playing “a lot”, hence why they were mythic raiding early on.
Great achievement, it’s cool to accomplish, it’s satisfying to reach your goals like this, and I’m happy for you, but OP is not a casual player by any means.
So then you agree that people who spend hours a day just level alts, doing tons of world content, those who have many or all professions maxed, those that have 1500+ pets and 600+ mounts and those with multiple gold capped characters are also hardcore? My friend has 50 level 70s and only does world content. To me, she is WAY more hardcore than I. I am AWFUL at leveling, but slamming 6 keys in 2 hours is EZ/afk work.
Casual kind of is though. Would you say someone who plays 7-10 hours a week in-game but runs theorycrafting sites, Cutting Edge progression, or is a multi-R1 glad a casual?
As stated for some it is how someone approaches the content, regardless of time or difficulty of the content they do.
Like, someone who spends 30 hours running low keys on alts would likely be viewed as casual from the perspective of someone who spends the same amount of time optimizing routes in very high keys.

I would disagree, because how you spend your time is subjective. Look at people who make gold off of the AH, they have to be insanely fast and run dozens of addons, same with people who chase rare drops, mounts and pets. They have addons and multiple web pages tracking stuff.
I don’t know how you got that from what I said, I also don’t have the specifics of how your friend plays. I have plenty of level capped alts (at least 25), but I’ve acquired those slowly over years of playing, so simply having those alts, those pets and those mounts does not mean someone is not still a casual player.
I have the details of how you play, you specifically are not a casual player, which is okay, you don’t have to be a casual player, I’m just not sure why it’s so important to you that you and others think you are.
But whatever, not important, congrats again, but I’m out.
