They pay the least amount in subs, consume by far more content than the average joe, lend to the unhealthy perception of mmos and generally ruin the game for everyone else as they are convinced it is all a competition.
Yet here we are. The majority gets table scraps, while a few get all of the pie.

Examples of them catering to the hardcore gamers at the expense of the casual ones?
Because they will always play the game - meanwhile normal players whine and cry and “quit” every 5 seconds because _________________________.
You know, covenants, which compelled hardcore gamers to level 4 characters of the same class, meanwhile Casuals had too… uh nevermind.
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. The hardcore players just chose what covenants were best for their class, the casual players just chose what they liked the most. No harm done.
I don’t consider casuals being incapable of finding M0+ dungeon groups cuz they don’t have the “correct” convenant to be no harm done.
I’m still confused what hardcore players did exactly. Gotta love vague arguments. 
No one checks that stuff. No one. You aren’t getting into M0 dungeons because your gear is bad or you are bad. That’s not a covenant issue.
It most definitely happens. Quite frequently, in fact. Not to me, but there’s a lot of people who’ve complained about it on here, in game, on reddit…
I’ve been doing M0 and M+ since day 2 and have not once seen this. Do you have any proof that it’s because of the covenant and not anything else?
Well there’s your first mistake. People will spew whatever nonsense they want because they think that’s the reason they’re not getting into groups, but they’re more than likely wrong.
Pretty sure all parts of the game can be reached casually if you focus on one route
What’s the point of discussing on these forums if we are to assume everyone is either wrong or their opinion is invalid?
Nobody is picking people based on covenant for a mythic0 and low keys.
The reality is, and always has been, there are just a TON of dps applying for the same few spots.
I’ve never seen an expansion cater so much to nonhardcore gamers. Literally everything about shadowlands is timegating and holding back people who want to progress as fast as possible. I hate Alts and I’m thinking of making on this xpac because of how coddled people are right now with catchup mechanics.
It’s impossible to be a hardcore wow player in this xpac just due to the fact that everything is time gated.
They tend to be the ones who experience all the content, can give valid opinions on all aspects of the game, and are there for the long haul. Casuals tend to quit all the time whenever the system doesn’t favor them.
