He doesn't even go here!
If wow was full of hardcore people the game would fade out of existance as it would only attract a small playerbase meaning blizzard doesn't have enough money to expand content and the hardcore raiders would get bored running the same raid for 5years and one by one they would quit.
If wow was full of casuals you wouldn't have things like wowhead,mmochampion, addons, guides, petopia, warcraftpets, wowpedia etc as people arn't deciated enough to keep them online/updated. However the game would prob stay alive and kicking for many years to come it's quality would prob degrade a lot more though..why should blizz implement interesting stories and amazing raids if players only want to kill some random unknown boss for the epics.
Both have strengths and weaknnesses that they bring to the game and both are required so we should just learn to live with each other, do what you enjoy and ignore people that you don't agree with.

No, sorry, attempts to make the hardcores seem somehow vital to the casual experience or overall survival of the game are mostly nonsense. Sites like Wowhead are large for-profit businesses, not labors of love from hardcore players, and would exist as long as a few million casuals were willing to look at advertisements in order to find out where to get their pets or whatever.
The idea that Blizz only tries to write interesting stories because of the hardcore 10% or whatever is ridiculous.
Meh, I still prefer to blame casuals for everything that has gone wrong.
Casuals shot JFK because he was going to make them put in effort to get loots!

Yeah great post.
This... this is possible one of the best posts I've seen in the GD here on MMOC.

Respect!
What is this hippie-talk about understanding people? :<
Makes the day a bit better to read a post like this
Everyone has so much to say
They talk talk talk their lives away
Agree 100%.

Now go back to hating again.
A perfect post on a perfect day, power to you! And i 100% agree.
hmmm, i dont really get it. OP´s Point made is fine, i am just astonished about the replys.
Only "/agree" or "so much this^^^^^^".
Dont get me wrong i actually like the fact that we dont seem like a miniscule conglomeration of People that may one day make up for a minority.
But normally you cant even shout out one reasonable Argument until a wave of disrespectful QQ from either the hardcores or the casuals hits you. It somehow feels like the mcdonals phenomenon. Noone goes there (if you ask the People) and always it is full.
Sorry ppl, I can't agree with that.
It's not about hardcore vs casual. I'm like you, half of my family is/was hardcore, and the other half it is/was casual.
And i see all of them with their faults:
Hardcore: Elitists mode /on, trying to make endgame content the only thing that matter. That's a big problem, and we can see all the problems that the raid/endgame content is doing to our community (read the 5894897 posts about LFR/Flex/Normal/Hardcore modes).
Casuals:Just want to do what the game is for: endgame content, and thx to hardcores for that: only raids matter. So Blizzard just give a bad copy of this content and people are happy! Just like politicians giving a good talk and everybody agree with that, doesn't matter if the talk was about killing some kittys.
I don't know what wow could be if this two groups started working together. First of all, there aren't any "groups", there is the WoW's player-base.
P.D: Don't go mad, just my opinion, it feels that without any of this groups, wow would died long ago. I don't blame them, but I'm not with the OP.
