I had that discussion with someone on the forum last week as well. People were talking about FFXIV being an “Monday”-game, because they didn’t have anything else to do rather doing Turn 1 through 5 and getting the Extreme Primals down for a weapon.

Personally, i play about 5 hours a day (with the exception of Friday) and my week looks like this:

- Monday: Farm Coil Turn 1 through 4 and attempt to clear T5 if people are interested. Do a CT run with FC members and after that, ask around if anyone need anything done (like a Dungeon, Treasure Maps, etc)
- On Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday: Attempt to clear T5 or Titan Extreme. Other then that, help FC Members with their stuff.
- During the weekend: Try to do Peisteskin Treasure hunts or Relic progression for the FC Members that need it.

I love helping out my fellow company members. There is always something i can do to help out. I’m barely touching things like Dailies, Crafting or Gathering.

But, to some, playing 5 hours a day might seem Hardcore. However, there are so many ways in which you can define “Hardcore”. To me, it’s not the Time spend inside the game that makes players “Hardcore”, but the way they spend their time in game that does.

You can play 5 hours a day, doing a lot of casual things like doing your dailies, run a Duty Roulette, do Treasure Hunts, leveling classes through Guildleve’s, etc.
