Hope you have those flame shields ready...

Uh, noooo. As a casual player, I can assure you, that if being casual left me in the dust, I would never even play this game at all (and I'm sure most share this sentiment), and there goes SE's business. You shouldn't be rewarded for having NO LIFE outside of a single game. MOST people have school, jobs, husbands/wives, kids, other family, other hobbies, other games even, etc... Just because you wont even get up from your game long enough to bathe, doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't be allowed to have fun when we decide to play. If you want a "HARDCORE" game, go find one. This isn't it. Get over it.
