Are the other WoW players pondering what I'm pondering?

You call these hours casual? Holy fuck do y'all have some time to spend or what. No wonder you're a newb in WoW if you don't have at least 2 70s. Guess if you compared yourself to:
Man dies playing online game
or
Infant Daughter Dies as Parents Play Online Game
yeah, then you're a casual gamer. I don't even have half the hrs played as Moloth's Xfire is showing and I created my eq2 account 4 days after WoW launch.
The average WoW player, from what I've read, plays about 19-20 hrs / week and this was before an 18% drop off the end of last year. I'm not seeing 20+ hrs a week as casual, back in "the day", maybe, but now? No.
Guess it's the age old game-designer problem of trying to define a casual gamer.

lol... i'm single, out of school for the Summer and nothing to do late in the evening. i play WoW for about 2 hours a night. thats like an evening of prime-time TV or a movie. big whoop.
keep in mind that the TOTAL hours are from FOUR YEARS of playing the game. hell, i was in Beta for it.
EDIT: also... even after for playing off and on for 4 years.. i have yet to have a single 70. my main is 69 3/4. i enjoying playing the regular game so much, i just have no desire to get into the rat-race that is 'end game content'. _________________ -=The Believer is Happy; the Skeptic is Wise=-

The best thing in WoW is the community. Sure, on the outside it seems childish and idiotic but the Role-playing community on Steamwheedle Cartel EU is the only reason why I continue to play. _________________

If you want to raid it's about 4 hrs/raid night. You'll raid from 3-5 days a week, and additional hours will come from daily quests to get money to buy potions, elixirs, flasks and etc. _________________ "Of the voluntary acts of every man the object is some good to himself." -Thomas Hobbs

Sounds like my old EQ guild. Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday were required raid days, miss 2 raids and you were kicked out. Plus a required Epic Quest raid schedule throughout the month.

Sheesh. There's a big plus to PotBS, it doesn't require near as much time and sounds much better for people who have a life offline. Unless you're in a port battle you can drop out of a group if you're in one, sail back to a port, and logoff anytime you want when you're not in a battle. There aren't PvP servers like that. PvP arises around any port where one nation has been attacking another a lot in the viscinity. A red PvP zone circle pops up after so many points are built up, and if points keep going up the zone gets bigger, ending with a port battle with the port going to whichever country wins the battle, and PvP drops to zero around that port. _________________ "The very existence of flame throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, 'You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.' - George Carlin
