If I am not willing to make playing a game a literal job I am a causal?
By all means , call me casual. I’d rather be that than a no-lifer who spends 5+ hours a day playing a game.
When I am on my death bed it won’t be playing wow that I remember, not will the wow dev team come to visit.
Play the game a lot or don’t, you’re paying to be here. WoW will give you what you make of it like many other things in life. If you want to raid mythic, cool! Get those achieves with your team. If you want to play without much time investment, that is why non-M+ dungeons and LFR/normal raid exist. Both are good, just play how you want and be nice to people.
Okay? So what’s your point? No one is asking you to make it a job.
I’m very happy you have your priorities in the game.
For context: I consider myself casual as well despite playing three or so hours a day, seven days a week. Casual isn’t a bad word.
Is that the qualifier for being a hardcore no-lifer now? You’d be absolutely shocked at how long some kids play games then.
I don’t even want to know…All of mine are over 20 and they still hit them hard. My daughter is finishing her last year of residency and plays her switch at the Hospital during her long shifts.
Priorities, right!? 
Aside from the fact that casual has no clear definition, why so mad about being considered one?
You gotta pump those numbers up.
Those are rookie numbers.
Nothing you do in wow rn will even matter in a few months. lol
Goodness, I can’t even imagine how tough it is to work at hospitals right now. I can’t blame her for trying to take her mind off it all with some games, lol.
I wish her luck and that y’all stay safe.
Who cares? Casual vs. Hardcore are some arbitrary labels people use to throw around to prove or disprove their point. The definition changes depending on who’s using the term too.
Just play the game however you want.
I understand. Somehow this hobby where I was happy just doing dungeons and lfr has evolved into something I don’t enjoy as much as I did just being casual Several years ago.
There are too many systems either raiding or m+ need to go.
So you’re bent because you perceive someone called you a name, so you’re calling others names?
stay classy.
The very need you have to come here and try to slam others just to make yourself feel better… sorry man.
Some players will call you a “casual”. So what? They can call me anything they want. If they’re elite, the “top 5%”, of course they invent phrases to criticize every other player. How else can they show off how “elite” they are, without a word for the non-elites?
Yes, they are better…at what matters to them. What’s wrong with that? How is that different from a champion surfer, who spends 8 hours every day, 365 days a year, getting better at surfing? It’s just the same.
everyone has their own definition of a casual.
hum… ok
Hum… ok
ok…
Basically… yes. Either you’re serious about playing the game and put in the time and effort to improve at it, or you’re casual about it and you don’t. There’s nothing wrong with playing a game casually, although of course you won’t reap the rewards of putting in that time and effort if you don’t. That’s fine.
Or, put another way,
Cool, but the people that spend more time in the game deserve to have more better things than you do
I stopped taking this game seriously not too long after I started playing.
Just not worth making a chore of it.
IF the competitive crap doesnt ruin it for you, Ion taking the stuff you worked for away will.
So you’re offended enough to make a thread about how you’re not offended about being called a casual? Did someone not invite you to their raid group or something?
I’m a casual. You’re a casual. Live on.
