That wont happen for years after Velious hits. But if this guy thinks that after 6 months of raiding new content then the casual scene will completely give up/burn out...he's wrong. Don't know what else to say.

Casual Scene isnt the same as casuals... this guy was claiming lots of INDIVIDUAL casuals would burn out.

And more will come and replace them. What's your point?

my prediction hardcores cry for 6 months about losing pixels, demand a change or they will threaten to leave claiming the server won't survive without the hardcore playerbase, 0 fucks are given, hardcores either A) leave and server rejoice B) STFU and live with it and the server rejoices!

I've heard a lot of people(mainly "hardcores") say that they think that casuals will burn out with the new raid scene. I'm actually curious why they think casual burnout will be more prevalent with the new system than with the old.

Just trying to plant the seed of doubt in their casuals minds.

I personally don't think they will "burn out" in their minds, but will eventually stop killing things regularly that aren't related directly to epics.

The hardcore player raids and kills to raid and kill. Loot and epics are kind of an afterthought. I'd bet more hardcore raiders burn out more from lack of competition than raiding too much.

Casuals fuel RMT you think hardcore players buy shit from anyone, the answer is no......they were the sellers... this is basic stuff here.

Flow of economics

Without discussing dynamics like these its all a fallacy.

Thats just that main reason casuals wont last long, imho

That's a good point, but I think the "hardcores" that RMT are most likely hardcore farmers, hardcore EC rats and IB when they stomped their feet to EQMac.

So like a hunter who only hunts for sport?

At least you realize you are a dirt bag, the next step is to stop being proud of it.

Someone should put that thing out of its misery.
