The bottom line is the Dev's will have to decide what works best for the game in the long run. And because S/E is a company, that means what will keep the most people playing the longest. So, numbers is all it comes down to. Also, why the new focus on things like Dynamis is the fact that, just like everything else, people WILL get tired of Abyssea. When they do, S/E wants them to look elsewhere in the game, not to another game, to keep their interest. Two ways to do this are to introduce new content or rework old content so it seems new. It's more costly to create new content then it is to rework old content. Although FFXI has seen a slow down in population, it still isn't growing. Thus, the smart move is to stretch out your old content instead of investing a tom of money into new content.
I agree with that, never said they have to make everyone happy with everything they do, but i think i already said that, many other event that is obviously more dead then dynamis that they could fix first.

Look at abyssea, how can i complain about it? Is not like they modify campaign to do this event. Let just go with this, Casual player got they piece of cake by having access to E.wep and crazy gear accessible. Hardcore player like me are still happy, we have our dynamis LS. Why try convert all the game into the same idea?

Why not reborn SKY? who would have complain about it seriously and for what reason. Why not add up new NM @ sky as alternative for E.Gear/E.Wep, without the option to use Atma/Brew, where your gear actually make difference and your DEX/STR not always capped.

So my question in all this, is this the revenge of casual player VS hardcore player? Are SE telling us, sorry we have no more room for you guy just because the casual player is 90% and you are minority? If you think that all right, then like i said be it, me and other player will just find a new home.
