Gamer lables -- why

[Azazua_azura]

After reading the forums since 1.0, and gaming for 27 years of my 30 years i have been alive something baffles me in ff14.

What is with all this stupid petty gamer lables?

Hardcare vs casual

raider vs non-raider

hardcore - midcore - casual

having a life vs no life

When did we gamers start seperating ourselves in these catagories? Why do people fight over this stuff when it's gamer made and not even a real concept.

Why in ff14, more so then any mmo I have played, do people think "casual" means easy and "hardcore" means hard? Why in ff14 there is hate between raiders and non-raiders? why in ff14 there is hate between the "casual" and "hardcore", and what is this midcore?

I've play ff11 for 10 years, WoW on and off for 2 years, and Aion for 6 mnths. And this community almost goes civil rights movent era with the labling of the playerbase.

My opinion is, its stupid. We are all ff14 players, we are all gamers. Sure we all have different ideals, goals, outlooks but to pick fights is just dumb.

I've always wondered when did this all start? And why does it keep going? Why pick fights over it?

Why use this to make arguments over content?

The only thing I ask is to keep it civil I'm not trolling or click baiting. I'm actually curious about this stuff as ff14 the first real time I've seen it in mmo so openly
