No, the casual gamer wants hardcore gear for the same time invested as a raider puts in. Raids arnt "harder", they just require a greater time commitment, and it doesnt seem fair that just because your work schedule is different then someone elses, they get better loot then you.

I always thought a way to solve this is to give both people uber items, but make each slot require a different playstyle. Like the BP of the game is obtained through raiding. The uber arms are obtained through a long ass solo quest. The uber legs are obtained through a long group quest etc etc. That way, it forces raiders to change their playstyle too so you dont have "hardcores" and "casuals", you just have everyone on the same level, with some playing more than others.
