Not saying some people might not struggle I am not trying to shame people or whatever I get that it takes longer for it to click for some people.
But I really feel like casual players are far more competent than a lot of people often say, and most people who complain about casuals probably are one themselves.
I dunno if people think that clearing this Savage tier or the Extremes make them '' hardcore '' because I find that a bit laughable tbh.

When I think of hardcore players I think of people who are progging Ultimates from day 1 or clearing Savage blind when they've just been released.
Looking up guides and doing Savage and Extreme I don't think is particularly hardcore or '' pro gamer '' and I am not particularly fuzzed about it either.
I think a lot of people are needlessly scared of them as I was.
To me it's mainly that I don't like feeling like a burden so I was worried about everyone else just facerolling it and me holding everyone back but that wasn't the case at all.
And even when I've had people like that in my groups there has all things considered been VERY little toxicity so long as you join the correct group.
See, this is the thing. I'm 100% confident that I would be as good or better than most of the people progging savage in any given instance. But, as a casual player I don't have the time to sit there and prog for 2 hours, and I don't really have the ability to commit to a certain time/day with a static. As a casual player, 30 minutes is really the longest that I can really commit to a play session, some sessions go above that, but I can't really COMMIT to that. So I'm locked out of that strictly because of time, that's all. I agree that the difficulty is fine for casual players, but I just really can't commit to the time for it.

This is another instance of the overlap of "not taking the game seriously" and "don't have that much time to play"
