Originally posted by jaxsundane In my opinion all mmo players are really "hardcore" gamers because we have a hobby that most of us probably indulge in to the exclusion of most all others most mmo players spend more time in front of their "system" than any other video gamer out there. So again I don't have a problem with the term just the way most mmo players use it. I don't, mostly because just about all modern MMOs suck. I might log in for a couple of hours now and then and play a little, but of all of my hobbies, MMOs probably consume the least of my time just because there aren't any MMOs that are worth spending more time on. If that ever changes, I'll re-evaluate my free time and see where it's better spent.

One man's hardcore is another’s walk in the park. I don't see anything unhealthy about people spending a lot of time on a game and I doubt many of us could even agree as to what a lot of time is. If you have many real life responsibilities then an hour a day may be excessive for you. Also trying to compare one type of hardcore to another is fruitless, computer gaming does not have anything to do with being a gangster, snow boarding etc. It is it’s own pursuit.
