I read blogs, play about 20-35 hrs a week, and have a few alts in their 40's in addition to my lvl 70 main.<BR/><BR/>I suppose the main reason I consider myself casual is the mindset behind 'hardcore.' I solo'd to 70 and all my alts are solo. I have only ever done one instance (in a group, have gone back and done a few of them solo just to see what they were about) and I didn't think it was all that great of an experience. I like having good gear, but as long as I can fight and not die on a regular basis I am happy with what I have.<BR/><BR/>So I figure I am much like you, more than casual and less than hardcore. But to answer the question, when asked I usually say casual, but dedicated (as the above poster postulated) sounds good to me.Jess Meltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04322680826653376229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-87067641887198620422007-10-23T11:45:00.000-04:002007-10-23T11:45:00.000-04:00You, like me and our ilk, are called dedicated.We...You, like me and our ilk, are called <A HREF="http://www.wowwiki.com/wiki/Dedicated" REL="nofollow"> dedicated</A>.<BR/><BR/>We spend a significant amount of time in-game but don't really do hardcore endgame content. We strive to do our best at whatever we do, come to PUGs prepared with all the necessities including pots and reagents, know our job, read about the instances, improve our gear, work on arena, farm money and rep.<BR/><BR/>We just don't take part in the activities of the catassing few. And that sets us apart from the hardcore group.Gwaendarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736940983104193253noreply@blogger.com
