Ouch, some harsh assumptions there about me and my Company. While people may think of us as a raiding Company due to our numbers, we don't actually equate time spent = raiding/hardcore. To us, spending time in-game just means that you like to play the game, and that you are more likely to participate in events (whether social, casual, or, as above, raiding). What you do with that time is up to each player. As an example, we have a guy who has probably only gone into Coil once, but he has 6 L50's and 6 relics, (along with a L50 culininarian in case people bring up the craft side). We have another who runs Coil nearly every day, but only log in for an hour or 2. Another person is really heavy into crafting and is spending all their time doing Vanya and Rose/Astral.

Sometimes I'm a social player, spend a few hrs just chatting in linkshells/Company chat and do some odd crafting and gathering. Sometimes I'm a dungeon runner, spend 5-6 hrs just chaining Keep. And when I'm up to it, I'll splash a bit into raider, running Coil and Tower consistently. A lot of people pigeonhole themselves into categories or 'types', but in truth, if I like a game, I like to try everything. I'm probably more of 1 type than another, but simply saying that people who spend more than a few hrs a night into the game automatically equals raiding/hardcore no-fun, is a bit presumptuous.
