The problem is that people are trying to describe multiple scales of attributes in a single dimensional scale.
Plays a lot <----> doesn't play much
Sucks at game <----> awesome at game
Reads strats/theorycraft a lot <----> never reads anything
Farms a lot <------> never farms
There's probably more. Some of these have some interconnection but they all definitely stand on their own. For example, I am good at the game, I play a lot, I read every strat and tons of theorycraft, and I never ever farm. I'm a welfare baby when it comes to materials.
People try to describe everyone on a scale of hardcore to casual and that's just dumb. Hardcore and casual tells me nothing at all. In order to understand what they mean, I have to try and understand what the person saying it actually means. A hardcore raider saying casual often means a sucky player. A casual player saying casual often means someone who doesn't play much. But it's still a guess until they describe in more detail.
