What is Midcore? Why does it matter?

I think you're using XIV terms to determine what Midcore means, when I'm presenting it as a form of genre content.

It could be Casual, and that's the frustrating part - Because then we have to admit that XIV lacks engaging Casual gameplay. But we know Casual is also a spectrum of wants, so I'm presenting it as a more engaging tier within Casual.

That doesn't make any sense. The only differentiation of casual, midcore, and hardcore is time spent.



Casual content is meant to jump in and out of with convenience. Midcore is for those who have more time to dedicate. Hardcore just means you focus all of your time into it.



Hence casual raiding - maybe 2 nights a week for a lockout. Midcore - multiple nights a week for multiple hours. Hardcore - going every night until clears happen.



What you are asking for is harder content for a casual playstyle.

Yep - I just know we lack what we lack.

You can call it Hard-Casual, doesn't detract from our needs in an MMO with a Subscription that only has hyper-casual, or forced commitment.

I'd also have to argue that if you have a dedicated group to 'Casual Raiding' - You're probably out of touch with these needs.
