I don't consider myself hardcore, because I don't participate in world first races and I don't do current tier savage prog because I genuinely dislike it. (I'm doing a very very slow prog through Eden Savage with a casual group, one lockout a week, and we're picking our way through E7S right now. Yay, I finally learned how to aim the teleports!) And I don't do ultimates.

I do, however, chase down achievements like they were actual money. I love racking up the equivalent of a high score. I also collect relics and anima weapons because they're pretty! By the definition of this chart, I'm focused, but I'm most definitely not hardcore. I pace myself, and I don't play until I'm sick. I just put in a few hours daily picking my way toward a goal.
