Re: Why All the Hate?

I have to agree LordDragon13. You made some mistakes with your labels there.

First of all casual is a playstyle that has nothing to do with time commitment. Whereas the term "hardcore" literally means very dedicated. However just become someone plays 70 hours a week doesn't mean they care at all about raiding. Casual gamers are not in it "for the win". They are the people who can lock up all of their exp into AA points and never go past 51 while doing Lost Dungeon adverture after adventure while having fun all the while.

It would actually be more accurate to discribe the debate as "time-starved power gamers" versus "hardcore power gamers". Which really isn't much of a debate as someone who is more dedicated to something is generally going to see more rewards from something.
