They have a history in MMOs: Richard Bartle did his famous Achiever, Explorer, Socializer and Killer typology a long time ago. I kind of notice no one has really done any formal classification of players, and, well, thought maybe people would like something different to read and talk on.

I made sure not to add any negative descriptors to this, but tried to link it to content levels that might help show what people like. Of course there are flaws, i was hoping people would talk about them.
I kind of mentioned a flaw in my reply where I was trying to figure out how to classify myself and had issues because of the classification tying parse level and content level- where people might be playing content at a pace/difficulty lower than their parse level in order to socialize - and with players who might be able to parse very well (80+), but may not care about getting that 95+ rank even if they are good enough to join such parties if they ever decided to.
