SE, no effort anywhere lately.

Then we just have a different definition of Hardcore and Midcore. The fact that you even mention a Static takes you out of Midcore. If you ran old Savage without a BiS chase and did them PF then sure. But if you're talking about day-1 with a static, then that's not Midcore.

The problem with your definitions is people in XIV have defined "casual, midcore, and hardcore" as skill levels, not time investment. I got corrected on that many a time.
