I'm defining Casual

Feel free to modify. All enjoy the game and either play SL or find other enjoyable content to do.

CASUAL

A. 2 hours a day (give or take)
B. 2-4 hours a few days out of the week

  1. Solo - Lone Wolf
  2. With friends or guild.

a. PVE No Mythic content

b. PVE No Mythic content, but maybe a dungeon, raid, LFR or pug.

c. PVE Majority of time doing dungeons, raids, LFR, or mythic content.

d. PVP + PVE

e. PVP, PVE, + Mythic content.

Which one are you?

Me - A1b

Edited for clarification on mythics

But first you need to define “highend content”.

M+16 and up? +15s? Or even lower @ +10? Hell is just doing a +2 and up highend?
Is anyone who does above LFR in raids doing highend content? Or is just Heroic highend?
Or is Heroic too common and only Mythic is highend?

Mythic - probably should clarify. That’s why I asked for modification. Probably arenas? Or is that just PVP. Never have done them.

Casual

Anyone who’s worse than me

Why do you say that? Are you terrible? No one is that bad.

You’d be surprised

No. We all have our levels, limitations, and basically don’t like doing.

Not even close. Hours played has nothing to do with being casual.
Im a casual golf player. Never took a single lesson…but Ive played 7 rounds in a week. lol.
Casual just means I dont take the game seriously.

There is no real definition .

For me casual is the type of content I play . I don’t really do mythic dungeons other then the occasional weekly quest. Mythic raids I wait until the next expansion and in most cases I might not even touch more then a couple of normal bosses in current xpac. I don’t rated pvp . I do how ever put a lot of free time into the game when there is content I want to do .

So I am a hardcore casual .

Then there are those that focus on high level content that may just raid log or do a few m keys or rated bgs and arenas . They might be considered casually hardcore.

Casual is more about the time you invest in the game than the content you do.

Your opinion . Casual player is actually defined by how each person views the term .

If we go by the google definition of “hardcore,” “highly committed in one’s support for or dedication to something,” then being a casual is only defined by your time spent. If you farm hetbs for hours a day, then you’re hardcore.

If I were to go under the “casual” definition of A, two hours a day or 14 hours a week is the time it takes me for ten +14 keys and mythic raiding.

Overly complex definition meant to be a back handed insult

Hardcore: Plays with a definite goal and devotes time/energy/resources to achieving that goal.

Casual: Plays with no goal except to play and have fun.

Time played doesn’t enter into it at all. As my time played will attest.

True. It would have been nice if a few people saw it the way I intended. I hoped for positive feedback or even a little agreement. Didn’t set it up for bait.

Just hoped it would get most of us on the same page so some of the inaccuracies &misunderstandings and bashing would stop.

Pipe dream, I know! :slight_smile:

Unh? No, but casuals do have goals and have fun. You’re hardcore definition is probably true.

There will never be a set definition for some it means amount of time playing and for others it is about the level or type of content they do.

It’s a basic outline - hopefully enough for understanding. I didn’t want it overcomplicated, but I can see there was no way to do that judging by responses thus far.

:grimacing:

I play 8+ hours a day, I don’t do M+, Raids or Rated PVP and rarely unrated, I spend most of my time in legacy content collecting, or world content for whatever is current expansion. I still haven’t done all the SL dungeons on normal, heroic 5mans is my end game :+1:

None of the above.
Play when I want, do strictly solo things and enjoy the game when I play.
