Casual has nothing to with how they play. It’s more to do with the amount of time they play.
Not playing your toon to the best of your ability doesn’t make you a casual, if anything it just makes you lazy.
Hardcore gamers are people who spend a lot of time on the game but that doesn’t make them good.
I’m not sure where this is coming from. Min/maxing and skill aren’t at all related.
Also, frost mage in Classic was one of the top DPS classes… They basically spammed frost bolt. Lazy, no skill, min/maxxed.
This is where I got it.
I’m a casual and I will be doing progression…
You’re using casual wrong is the whole point.
Casual just means how much a person plays, it literally means nothing else.
“Has anyone seen so and so”?? “No hes a casual and doesn’t play much”.
You can get glad playing like 8 hours a week.
More proof these people aren’t interested in a fair fight and just want to stomp pugs. 
The last time I checked, progression raiding took quite a bit of dedication outside of the raid… Farming gold and/or consumables, as well as helping other members do the same. Not to mention heaps of wipes.
Gunning for an arena title also takes a pretty serious player. Gotta grind all the honor gear and play enough matches to raise the rating.
I disagree. If someone plays a lot but only does normal dungeons and not heroics or raids, I would consider them casual. If someone queues a lot of BGs but doesn’t do arena, I would consider them casual. I fall into this category.
Casuals could also raid and do arena. But they’re not gonna obsess with performance. They’re also not going to devote heaps of time to it.
Is the queue synching 5s for faster queues another one of those things Im a loser for not doing and should just eat my sweaty tryhard curbstomp like the developers clearly intended?
True. I raided in Vanilla Classic but didn’t care about parses or world buffs.
Exactly.
My best advice for raiding: If you’re gonna wipe, wipe front-to-back.
My old raid tank used to say this before every run.
The best.
Sounds like a good tank.
Was he a drunk tank?
Most people in my raid were handicapped by something and alcohol was a fairly common affliction to the people I raided with, yes.
Sounds like a great guild.
The nostalgia and memories of those times are why Im still foolishly sticking it out in Classic Era as my rational side tells me Im overdue for hanging it up again.
I had a blast all through vanilla and tbc. Wonderful and fun people to enjoy those times with.
I am sorry you are mentally unable to invite 9 others to a group, but premades are a great way to prevent people whomst are afk honor/mark grinders.
So you’re ok with premades being matched against each other?
I live in a real life massively multiplayer environment and I haven’t grouped with nine other people in years.
Your Bene premades get rolled by pugs. The hotdog down a hallway gif would seem appropriate here.
