Lolno. I play because I enjoy the game. You can't find a single thread made by me on this forum, complaining about the stuff I'm unhappy with in FFXI. The OP has made enough loud threads/posts complaining about whatever he is unhappy with, up to the point where I'm seriously wondering why the hell he's still playing and paying. If I was THAT displeased with the game, I certainly wouldn't still be playing.
People will eventually quit because things are too easy, its already starting to happen. It's just way too easy to cap your relevant jobs granted you have competent players surrounding you and if you dont, just do Scars mobs for Heroes loot and Vision mobs for Scars loot.

Now I know that certain blocs of people are happy things have gotten easier because of their various circumstances but the reality is that making something too easy is just as bad as making something too hard like FFXI was in the past.

That's the part where I feel Akujima is 100% correct - the leeching will eventually be the downfall of the game as a whole. Make things too easy and the good players cap out and quit leaving you to deal with plenty of the lowest common denominator type players. A brain drain so to speak and harm to the game as a whole.

Your point about previous content being accessible is dishonest at worst, misleading at best. Things like Assault and old-fashioned EXP may be possible but good luck getting people to do them with you cause at the end of the day it comes down to loot/rewards and those events are sorely lacking in both so it's the Abyssea-way or the highway.

I certainly don't want the old-school FFXI back but you're deluding yourself if you think the current path of XI won't lead to what happened with "hardmode XI" - mass quits.
