Fauxcore /fau-kohr/ is an amalgam of the French word for fake or false, and the term hardcore, a word to describe to describe players who participate at the cutting edge of Raiding. Fauxcores are players who complain about 'welfare epics', raid finder, and other game modes that somehow make them seem (in their sad, silly little minds) less like a special snowflake, while lacking either the accomplishments of a true hardcore raider or is able to hide their lack of true skill in 25 man raiding. While the term fauxcore is about World of Warcraft players, it can be apllied to any MMORPG or any other game where an easier mode might superficially grant a similar gaming experience to someone who spend hours playing and are at the top.
