    Casual content is something you can do casually.
    ... wut?

    thats not ANY of the standard ideas of "casual".


    this is a subscription based MMO, should have been obvious that i was talking about those not Korean p2w cash grabs that rely on whales.
    Thats an irrelevant distinction in an era where subscription games make a majority of their money in a cash shop, and even more irrelevant when you consider theres only like, 4? major subscription MMO's left and the rest are cash shop freemium.


    Did "casuals" fund EQ? Surprisingly, no. People who werent heavily involved in the raid scene but didnt consider themselves "Casual" outnumbered those who did in most every era of EQ.

    In WoW? Yes. But wow was heavily marketed as "hey, come be casual and do 99% of what you want without having to look up how your class or the game works" and its first raid was clearable by 10 competent people and 30 monkeys banging a keyboard. "Casuals" raided 40 man dungeons once a week and could clear it in a couple hours, which by logic used by several in this thread, would make those players not casual. (its also how raids and even EX content in this game works).
