it is no surprise to anyone who has played World of Warcraft since the last two years that the game is slow, but increasingly skewed towards a casual playful nature, trying to draw more players and give them things to do, at all levels, to avoid hours and days at a time to enjoy. It is a strategy for shareholders to win, but equally effective for players in WoW from day one? The answer may be, depending on how you ask.

Professional style Play vs. Casual Players

casual style of play is a lot of fun, and adds alot which would otherwise be omitted. Benefits include, reducing the requirements for mounts, the less XP to access the highest level content and a bunch of new events throughout the year have added great depth to the WoW universe, and for serious players always playing with the same content in search a new or epic shield spaulders pair, it adds a nice diversion and a good way to enhance the current style of play.

The disadvantages of Casual Players

On the disadvantage is  that each time new content in the game in terms of benefits, not-combat animals, less resources from Blizzard are devoted to raiding content and features for the more advanced players. Raid sizes have been reduced to 10 and 25 men and the highest level of raid level 80 is much easier than anything above level 70. Players who are level 80, in the first days after the expansion are stuck with PVP or grinding if they want something to do while waiting for the higher level raids to enter the game.

Conclusions on What Casual Players bring to the Game

Casual WoW players coming to the game, in the end, is good for everyone. It provides new sources of revenue, and provided that Blizzard maintains the quality and establish the necessary resources they should into the game, it will be able to maintain a constant flow of new content for all levels of players. It may seem that the faithful are always short changed, but it is their commitment that allows Blizzard to develop new content which could not happen otherwise.
