You could say I'm "hardcore" as far as playtime and leveling all my jobs goes.. but actual "accomplishments" of difficult content...? not really.
There are people that play this game that believe it is essentially hardcore raiders vs casual players. You see this mostly from the casual player base this idea that there should be no challenging content and everything should be designed around only casual play. These are typically your players that will throw out terms such as elitest, elite, gate keeping, toxicity, and minority/majority claims ect. They are also the people that will shut down feedback or criticism to claim the game is perfect the way it is and if you don't like it go unsub. Really just terrible people in general. Is what these people do not realize is like the world it takes different types of players to make the game function right. The idea of the casual vs hardcore is nothing more than ignorance and both types of content and players should exist to maintain a healthy online player base.

His whole claim is that the dev team has to filter the majority which according to him "the hardcore elite" is majority of the player base when in fact it makes maybe 15% - 20% of the total player base if you look at the rate of savage content clears and participation. In a nut shell it is best to just ignore him like a homeless person begging for change everyday at the corner and trying to tell you wild conspiracy theories.
