I've seen a post on here a while ago with someone claiming to be a casual, so naturally, I looked. They had max power characters at the time and had 14,000 hours played. I don't know in what reality that made them a casual player. I kind of want to know what that makes those of us under 2,000 hours.

I'm sure time is a part of it (some people have a [i]stunning[/i] amount of time in the game) but I think it's more about how a player approaches a game. If you're playing to have fun, getting gear but not pressed about top-tier stuff or triumphs, and don't feel slighted because some things are outside your skill/time range, you're a casual player. But a lot of the people on the forum claiming to be casual are extremely invested in how to get the best gear, playing the most difficult content (although they don't want it to be difficult), and triumphs/seals. The definition of a "casual player" is quite the opposite.

Yeah. I mean, yeah, my characters are all currently 400+, but I wasn't actively trying to get there and definitely don't need the highest higher tier loot for what I do most of the time. I'll definitely take them when they drop, though. Especially with this event currently. The highest difficulty things I'd normally do before this dlc was the very rare GM nightfall or occasionally trials. With how trials is now that one doesn't really apply anymore. Same with GM difficulty. It seems so much easier to run anything on it currently than what it was before. Other than those dungeons would be the only other highend content I played, but those are all pretty easy.
