I'm trying to figure it out...

Who is a hardcore player?

Is it.....

Someone that plays 8hs a day or more? Close to every day....

Someone that doesn't necessarily play so much, but tries to get all the content done, the faster the better...? Regardless whether they are -skilled- or not?

Someone who no matter how much he plays, as long as they get 8-12 hours a week, if they are very -skilled-? Does it matter if they get end-game content done or not?

What are your thoughts on the matter?
