You got my hopes up.

Now I has a sad.

Mdenham, if you've played for seven years your not casual, your commited. Also, please refrain from name calling, i know its tempting in today's barbaric society to flip off people and fly off the handle at the drop of a dime but do us both a favor and contain yourself, it makes you look uneducated and low class when you dont use your manners.

Casual does not mean you've only played for months or a year. it only means you aren't a "no lifer" and don't spend hours every single day playing.

you mean your deffinition of casual is that, anyone whos been playing for years is far from casual either by the money they have invested or the time they have spent. time = money and money = time not getting away from it.

Wrong. Casual players are people that don't play the game seriously. The only possible definition is a low number of hours per week. Anything greater than say 15 hours a week is damn hardcore.

I still fit that; I average about seven hours a week over the last seven and a half years.

Even dumping the roughly a year where I wasn't playing at all, that's still only eight hours a week or so.

So: there is still overlap between "people who have played for more than a year or two" and "casual players".

For the record the BG Random Question Threads and Whats Better Threads are probably two of the most useful and most helpful forum topics relating to FFXI on the internet. In general the people who post there post because they want to improve themselves. The people who reply are ones who'd found the answers or have seen the answers mentioned somewhere else.

Saying the infomation is hard to find on BG is rubbish because their search function is pretty good, and failing that there is the aforementioned Random Question thread.
If you can't find infomation on BG it's because you're not trying.

And those are not the only two good threads. There is a lot of very valuable infomation in Advanced and Mathy Parts forums.

So i'm right then. i said "Don't spend hours every single day playing."

Don't call me wrong then say the same thing I said. Casual vs hardcore is only a matter of how many hours you're putting in, and it's subjective just how many.

Why would you search through the forums when you could just post the question, favorite the address, then come back in 12 hours and read replies?

If the search function actually works, it should be about 11 hours and 55 minutes faster than the procedure you suggest.

[Gokku]

at any time of the night/day you generally get your first reply in RQT in about 5-10 mins tops

Yes but you should add "on average". What is systematic to hardcore players, unlike casual players, is committement overs the days/weeks/months/years. Basically if you farm anything that requries grind you are hardcore. While abyssea offers nice opportunities to casuals for instance, it's kind of made for hardcores (empy, vnms).
