I think a lot of people are misusing the word "midcore" because they don't want to imply that they're only "casual" players by asking for casual content. But midcore is between casual and hardcore. Hardcore content requires a lot of preparation, organisation, coordination and time investment. Midcore content requires a moderate amount of these things. If it doesn't require these things, it's casual content.

Ask for what you actually want instead of asking for something else and being surprised when your needs aren't met.
I'm sorry but there is nothing between casual and hardcore and it very rarely makes an appearance (like ultima unreal). If you want specifics I know exactly what I want - savage with half the mechanics. Criterion with half the mechanics. Extreme with 2/3 of the mechanics. Midcore could easily require some prep and discussion, I don't think that's the issue. It's the amount of prog time to learn it - at least from my experience. If you can get a group of non-raiders together and clear in 1-2 evenings then it's midcore.
