That's not to say that you shouldn't have expectations either, it's just... maybe this is a bit cynical, but maybe you should try not to be too surprised or frustrated when people don't meet them. People are... pretty unreliable on the whole, and incomprehensible even moreso.

    To be fair as well, it makes sense that more of the players who struggle to perform their roles (even in a bare-bones fashion) would fall into the "casual" base, simply because that very lack of skill is a barrier to being considered part of a... "higher tier," I guess I'd say, of players, no? I guess that also sort of brings up the question of how you'd define where these players fall, especially just at a glance. Is it just a matter of their performance? That would be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Their gear level? The jobs they have capped? What metric are we using to define "casual" as opposed to "midcore" or "hardcore?"

    Overall though, I fear that there are probably no satisfactory answers to your concerns. Some people just aren't very good. Some people just don't care very much. And if I'm conceptualizing the idea most people have of "casual" players, how could those people fall into any other category?
