I'm seeing disdain for "casual" gamers, people saying they ruined the game. One guy even went so far as to say the "even one filthy casual at 30 is too many." He was talking about the new iron banner update.

It's a term that doesn't really mean anything because everyone views it differently. When I used to play WoW I was happy to be a "casual" because a lot of people there considered anyone with a relationship/spouse, social life, etc. a "casual." This was due to "hardcore" being all about raid progression and being consistent to a weekly raiding schedule that many "normal" people couldn't adhere to. But casual isn't always the same as incompetent, that's a strange mischaracterization. In WoW I played casually but I had a lot of friends in the top raiding guilds and would get invites to raid pretty often because I was considered one of the best healers on the server. I have no idea what "Casual" is supposed to mean in Destiny though. I think I'd still consider myself fairly casual because I don't take the game seriously, but I have done the raid (legit too, not cheating), and I have solo'd the nightfall strikes several times (okay that was done with cheating). I don think the game is old enough and there isn't yet enough content to really parse what makes one a casual or not. :P
