There's nothing impressive about Hardcore.

Your definition of "Hardcore" is skewed, Hardcore doesn't mean plays all the time it means they put a lot of effort into the time they play. People who don't have alot of time can be considered hardcore as well if they apply themselves.

Casual is generally just atributed to people who want everything instantly with no effort.

My definition is the right one, it's yours that's skewed.

Edit: Jynx's comment highlights the problem precisely. The negative connotation that's been applied to casual, and this positive that's been applied to hardcore is the exact issue. It's simply elitism, and a deluded sense of superiority.

I think the fact it's getting more likes tells us all we need to know about the attitudes present on these forums.
