I spend a whole lot of time in this game, and based on hardcore values, I have very little to show for it. But, I do raids also. I'm grateful to be in a coil static that is friendly and laid back, so I get to participate in the end game stuff without the end game drama. It's fun.

If I had to label myself, it would be Alt-aholic, as I have multiple (5!) characters with multiple jobs leveled and geared acceptably. I expect to be leveling #6 when the new race lands.

But I would never call myself a hardcore raider. I'd actually be slightly insulted if someone said I were, based on what I think it means. But that's just my opinion. Take it for what you will. ^^;
