LyraineAlei Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Personally, if I could, I'd run around all day playing, and since school got out, I do while I wait for school to come back and then I can start work again. I have one 55. Across all my characters, just one is 55. And I have been playing for a year. I have completed two class stories. But all the time I have spent, using the logic of the original post, would mean I am a hardcore player. I don't group, I am a pretty awful healer even as I've been reading Dulfy. I admit to chasing achievements instead of story or raids and group stuff until recently. I call myself casual because I don't care about being on the leaderboards. I call myself casual, despite the time and cash I have handed over to BioWare, because I sit and watch conversations and movie clips. I sit and track down the random convos between NPCs. I play, not to win, but to run around doing things. Yeah, I run dailies on a pretty regular basis, but not all of them in a day. I like to collect credits, and titles, and legacy levels. But I don't focus purely on them. I don't obsess over the gear, unless I'm trying to keep myself and my comp in decent armor rating range. I do read the varying pages for tips, and I have them bookmarked. But I don't plan out raids on places because I'd rather spend that time doing other things. Maybe insult Alderaanian nobles in a convo to pick up a mission. Maybe group up and run Aurora Cannon in Section X. Tl;Dr -- casual = no set ritual for things, does as s/he will just because. Hardcore = a specific way to do everything, often to optimize things like raid speeds, or getting credits faster through the dailies and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
