The point is, why do we need to differentiate?  People who stay online forever need to be deocorated by the president?

I prefer to be rewarded for my skill and ability to actually get things done rather than how little of Iife I have in a desperate bid to attain something that for all extensive purposes is worthless.

 

Point for me also is, the game is supposed to be fun regardless of how long you play. The fun should be the goal, not some pixels.

 

Honestly, wasting hours on end to obtain an item in a game as if it's the holy grail is more hopeless sounding to me than knocking yer rocks off to pictures.

Games could just add a bit of seriously challenging content, that would go a long way toward making hardcore players happy.

Unfortunately, a few frustrated players will always cry foul in such situations.  I wouldn't call that an issue of casual vs. hardcore, it's just that some people like to whine.  Not all casual players are whiners, and not all hardcore players are elitists.  I think it's unfortunate that players are lumped into these groups in a negative way. 

 I think it's really funny that people's definition of a challenge in mmos is the measure of time spent, and not the difficulty!

Not evryone can succeed, are MMOS turning into Communism online?

Not everyone can become an Elit football player and not everyone can become a mathematical genius.

The same must apply to an MMO world if we have nobody to look up to and be awe struck by, the games hype will just fade away...

Reason sports are so big is that the those modern gladiators do what most of us only dream about doing. Same logic goes for MMOs, if the Industry dosent catch on soon, and  continue to dumb down these games, the mmo market will crash and burn...

Watch and see all of you that dont agree with me... Games need a challenge to spurr people on... It also ceeps the casuals playing as they have somthing/someone to look up to.. Not everyone can be the Alpha dog...its not in the human natur.

 

 

That you are wrong. In all the single player game, you ARE the hero. People would not pay money to play a game where they can't get the good stuff.

Remember that MMORPGs are NOT real life. They are games and the whole point is to make people have the illusion that they are special.


 

hahah did you even read my post.. I know english is not my first language but what are you saying mate?????

this is what you said in the last sentance: They are games and the whole point os to make people have the illusion that they are special...

Challenge, being best (haveing the best gear etc) is what makes people play the games.. if people dont have that they will not stick around.

Remember this post please... the game companies are shooting themselfs in the foot. Why do you think all games have failed after WoW. One by one they have gone down, because they have all been dumb down to nothingness. Take WAR for example, they made Instance running/spamming battlegrounds the best way to lvl and everyone used it. People played it to thiere eyes bleed. It Was boring solo grindfest.

MMOS should be about comunity not solo game play. If people want to go solo they play solo games. MMOS=Comunity=E-pen=Not everyone can be the same. If companies start to take this away one by one they will fail. And the track record after WoW shows that im right. The DUmbing down has destroyed the genre and people have stoped playing.....

A) When did "hardcore" become a self proclaimed title?

B) When was a definition for "hardcore gamer" established?

C) Why is it so important for some people to be recognized as being hardcore?

 

Hmmm, lets see: If you need to pin the "hardcore" button on you, so others know that you are "hardcore", but exactly these others just wonder what the hell you mean with "hardcore" and why you have the need for them to know that you are "hardcore"; well that would leave you to be a hardcore idiot.

Hardcore means nothing.  Being hardcore in a game is laughable
