Divided playerbase? Let's have an election!

I have IRL friends who fit the casual definition, because they (a) have no interest in learning the inner workings of the game, and (b) do not have the time to learn challenging content. They may, at most, have an hour a night to play. Between work and children, they just cannot log on more than that. They just want to log on and have some fun, not get pummeled and feel like they wasted their time.
Democracy is probably the worst way to make decisions. Sorry to be blunt, but a player who logs on an hour a month shouldn’t have as much power in decisions that affect the entire game as someone who plays 10 hours a week.

This is where you are wrong. If there are 10 players who logs on once every month for every 1 player who logs on 10 hours a week. Then the game’s player base is for those who logs in once a month, and their influence should be 10x as much unless Anet is trying to shift the player base.
However in reality few or no player logs in once a month. The real comparison is between player who plays 1 hour per night vs those who plays 5 or more. Unless Anet is trying to shift their player base on casual to hardcore, they should probably listens to the larger of their player base. This is why Democracy work at its best here.

Their $60 is worth less than your $60, I take it. Sorry, but no. More time in game is not an entitlement.

In addition to your questionable “their 60 bucks are worth less than my 60 bucks” stance, you make an arbitrary assumption that people who don’t like hardcore content log in for only one hour a month.
I have logged 1,600+ hours in Guild Wars 2, and I don’t like hardcore content.
Case closed.

I didn’t read everything. But why can’t this game be a multitude of things. Why does it have to be black and white, hardcore vs casual etc. etc.

Because people are stuck in their mentalities, and lack the clarity to see things from others perception.

You get what you pay for with your $60.00. ArenaNet would be very foolish though to not support people actually using the gem store. You know, the people actually paying for the continued development of all of the new content.
How do you think they are paying their employees without releasing expansions?
how about only make half the dragon hard like that and leave the rest alone. you satisfy both group because they both have half of the events to do. hardcore people do the harder events casuals or easymode people do the rest or those who want to be completers do all of them. win-win-win

You’re again inventing baseless assumptions about people to suit your opinion. I (and many other ‘casual’ type players I know) are using the gem store. I really love pretty gear…

What are the odds that the people who play less are the ones buying the gems with money, and the people who play the most are buying gems with the surplus of gold from all that time spent in game doing the more rewarding content?
