A Casual Player is simply someone who doesn't have that much time to devote to the game.. and plays the game casually.
Somehow over the years the term "casual "transformed into lazy player who lacks coordination, doesn't gem, doesn't enchant and doesn't play to win. Don't ask me how this happened, but somehow casual now means that it's ok to stand in the fire.
I hate seeing so many people claim to want easy content because they're "casuals". No, you want easy content because you're unmotivated to better yourself and you're lazy. You're probably the same people who whine about the "99% of wealth" being in the hands of bankers and Government and want them to just hand you money because they have it all.
That's honestly what I see when I go to the Blizzard Forums and the community keeps me from playing this game. I actually like the game, it's a fun game.
The truth is: The people who have an interest in 25 mans are leaving the game.. they're not becoming casuals, they're just leaving the game and holding onto hope for something better to come along. I'm honestly surprised Blood Legion and other top 25 guilds still have enough people interested because rumor has it.. some of the top guilds are having trouble keeping people interested in heroics.
It's not that people are becoming "casuals" as they call themselves now, it's that they're tired of living in a game filled with socialism.
I miss 25 man raiding, but finding people who even want to do normals is tough now. It's so easy to find people for Flex who can knock out the content in a quickie that the interest for normals has rapidly decreased.
Then you have your LFR whiners.. these are the people that I wish would quit the game in mass. What would we lose honestly? We'd lose people who do 30-40k DPS on boss fights, don't know fights before coming to a raid, don't gem their gear, don't read up on their class mechanics every patch, etc.
The "Casuals" think for some reason that if Blizzard made their game hard, they would all quit. I say prove it and I'm calling your bluff.
PLEASE DELIVER MY HOPE! I'm actually getting excited over this one... I can't wait to see the tears of the lazy and unmotivated if they announce that WoW is going back to old school.
