The only issue I see with your explanation of definitions is that you've chosen to let other players opinions affect you.

I play because it's fun. I play A LOT because I'm unemployed :)
I can perform well in any raid and shred many in pvp but so what? I'm casual because I'm not sacrificing everything to be on the bleeding edge content.
I respect those that do make the sacrifice and I respect myself for not making the sacrifice. Life goes on, regardless of how we choose to label said lives :)

BioWare shows off SWTOR's customizable UI in new video
Apr 4th 2012 12:20PM (Massively)100% agree. The UI customization seems pretty complete, so long as I can add a 3rd horizontal task bar :)
Hyperspace Beacon: Breaking the bank
Apr 3rd 2012 11:08PM (Massively)No sarcasm. I assume that 15 accounts is baseline for a guild bank, which seems like a high threshold.
In fact, any threshold seems arbitrary. If you have a guild you should be able to provide a bank for it.

I think the real line is who much prime time you can devote to your game, uninterrupted.
If you do 7-11pm 4 nights a week you're hc. Anything else? Casual.
I game 40 hours a week but I'm married. I'm casual. Make sense?
