Not everything is an absolute.
You might be a "casual " PLAYER but you’re not really what i would consider an ACTUAL casual player in terms of interest in the game and playtime
As in , the kind player that played wow back in the day and has likely quit since then, or someone that plays the game from time to time and doesn’t spend their time browsing the forums for a game that they only CASUALLY play.
You may not be a “tryhard” but the fact that you’re even browsing and posting on the forums for this game indicates that you aren’t really a “casual” fan compared to most people that might play the game
For example, i play other games besides wow, such as csgo, valorant, gw2, eso, ect. But i don’t really spend time on forums or message boards for those games even though i have several hundred hours played on all of them, because i consider myself a rather “casual” fan of those games, only occasionally binge playing them every once in awhile but never “full time” investing into them like i have been for wow since classic came out.
