You do not "work" in a game, you play.. it's different..
A game shouldn't be a source of stress.. it should relieve it.. that's the whole purpose of a game being a game and not a work.. in other words.. if I'm being already stressed out by my job why should a game stress me out even more..?

Sometimes the way hardcores speak sounds like as if they were blaming casuals for having a job.. and the message I get is "drop your job or you won't do crap in this game..", that's not very constructive..
true that isn't constructive, but at the same time, it's not a good thing to try and dumb down the game because you don't have time to play. Some of us have more time to play than others and we actually want stuff to do during that time. This is kind of like in FFXI..."hardcore" content were HNMs and such. "Casual" content consisted of Sky, Dynamis, etc. I would like to see something like this in FFXIV. The lesser content will still give good gear, but not as good as the gear that is awarded to those that put more effort into the game due to their lack of time restrictions.
