I agree.
The truly casual players (like 10 hours or less a week) have a stable of characters in the 20s-30s and have enough content for years of play. The raiders have several raid zones, Naxxramas on the way, and more raid zones coming in the expansion. The PvPers that have all the time in the world can grind for Grand Marshall. It's the guy that can play 20-30 hours a week but for some reason can't raid, say due to schedule conflicts, that is left out in the cold in WoW.
A friend of mine works shiftwork, so he can't consistently make raids. Due to his erratic work schedule he couldn't get into a raiding guild. Even though he could play ~30 hours a week, it was mostly in the morning or really late at night. PvP is also pretty non-existent at those hours on our server. He quit after a couple months of being 60. There really wasn't anything for him to do to progress his character. He wasn't even asking for free epics, just some kind of character progression. AAs. Something.
