Player skill level classifications

[Aana]

Besides the complete irrelevancy of making a 'tiered' list of players, most people use these terms on a day to day basis in different contexts and the definitions are entirely subjective. There is how much you play, how good/skilled you are, and what type of content you tackle which makes some singular list completely inadequate for describing the intersections of those things, and thats just a rough start. You would need a 3d matrix to even try to do this, but that would give you so many 'categories' that they would be meaningless. There are people who are VERY skilled at this game, but only log in to weekly clear. There are people who are terrible at this game but play 10 hrs a day. Whos the hardcore one?

The only thing you can really define are the extreme ends that do everything or nothing in concert. World 1st groups that take a week of vacation for new content, play 20 hours a day, and do so at an exceptional level. Wow. Hardcore. The guy who logs in once a week and does 2 more quests in the MSQ? Casual. Great we made labels. GL getting the other 99% of the playerbase in a box.
