I use it to refer to players who, despite their inability to invest
much time in their characters, still demand the trappings of
achievement (i.e. items, status, etc.). They are often frustrated
when their limited time in-game doesn't keep them at some perceived
level of "competitiveness" with other, less time-constrained
powergamers.

Not that there's anything *wrong* with that. ;)
