I agree with this part of your statement about Hard Core players.

Though I now consider myself to be Casual/Mid I will say that today's younger generation of gamers have this instant gratification mentality about them (not all mind you but enough that it's noticeable). I see people whining about content being too hard and they want things now and don't want to put forth the effort and time to accomplish anything.

It might take a casual player 4 months to get the same item a Hard player could get in one but you can still get it and yet the casual will complain it's too hard and want nerfs so it's easier for them. These people I believe do not belong here and should go and play a Pay to Win MMO because that's what they really want.
