Is there such a thing as casually hardcore?

@Den - My problem with that line of thinking is that you're still applying the labels based on skillset. You can do research on your class, know what buttons to push, etc. And still have no desire to raid. Alternatively, you can eat, sleep, and breathe raiding, and still have no idea how to properly play your class. (A few former guildmates of mine can probably attest to this.)

Personally, I would imagine the spectrum to be based on the amount of time you're willing to devote to the game. If you were the guy who called in sick to make server first level 85, or whatever, I would call you "hardcore," even if you'd never set foot in a raid. "Hardcore" and "casual" don't just apply to raiding, but overall playstyle.
