Effort expectations should not differ by content. Especially if its done with DF not using a premade with friends each person should be performing to the best of their ability and by the time they hit expert roulette should atleast have the fundamentals of their job down and should always strive to be better than you were the day before. If you want to goof off or mess around that is what your pre-made with friends or FC members are for if you want to spam just 1 skill or do something silly like my first FC did and fight leviathan EX during ARR with 8 SCH.

Most people queue DF solo. This means you are grouping with 3, 7, or 23 random strangers depending on what you actually queued. It's like those group projects some of my teachers were fond of doing back when I was in school and the people intentionally screwing around and not putting out effort are the guy in your group that is given a task and doesn't do it resulting in either bringing the entire group down or making things harder for the other group members because they have to compensate for this person. Granted it was kind of funny when one of the teachers caught on to this and started grouping all the slackers together... >.>

And again with the casual / hardcore. This really should just be a term related to the time people actually spend playing the game when you consider a very large portion if not the majority of your "casual" players are logging more hours in game than your "hardcore" ones. About the only time this really changes is when there is a major content update.
