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.

Why are hunters who only hunt for sport also dirt bags? Competition is fun, whether it's outsmarting a deer with bow or outsmarting other guilds when racing for a target. I don't expect everyone to understand why it's fun. In fact, I imagine most so-called "casuals" will never understand it themselves unless they transform themselves into "hard cores"--which does happen.
I think Rak's prediction about hardcores burning out due to a lack of competition is about right. The casuals who stay casuals will simply stop killing dragons they don't need for epics and such, and the raid scene will continue as before the current raid scene with "C" guilds going after dragons they don't need for the sake of killing them, and the "R" guilds will let them do it because it's simply not their thing.
The only way this doesn't happen pre-Velious is if sufficient numbers of "R" members replace the old ones, but I'm not persuaded that the server population refreshes itself with the number of new people that this would require.
