and i'll give you one. there's a much higher likelihood that a hardcore player will stay subscribed 12 months a year and play almost every day for several years. hardcores aren't the ones subbing for a couple months then unsubbing for several more then coming back again for a couple. they're also not the ones subbing throughout the year but only playing once or twice a week.

casuals form a larger percentage and contribute more cash to the developers' pockets overall, but they're not what holds a game together for years. and that is why you need content which appeals to everyone- and especially your hardcore base.

you think EQ existed for so many years thanks to casuals? ffxi? no. that's entirely unrealistic.

so, yeah, even if they have greater numbers and even though you definitely need to have content for them, does that mean that all content or even most content should be targeted toward them? considering they experience less of the game than a hardcore player (on average) to begin with, that's just completely illogical.

we have casual content. devs ought to add more casual content over time. but we don't have any real hardcore content.

so you do the math.
