I agree with this.

It can be said though, like I had to use the "w" word, but WoW and a few other games offer 2+ modes as well for raids and they do just fine. Depending on the time period/expansion and/or the game mentioned, usually the reward for the extra time spent is often a extra drop from the loot table or some such. I mean really, you are probably going to be doubling++ your time in there, 33% more drops doesn't seem too outrageous.

That being said, I don't think the FFXIV community would do well with that... Most of the player base hasn't killed Titan HM... If people were enjoying raiding more, better rewards might be a option. Based on feedback I've gotten on the forums, most people would rather steer clear of raiding... People aren't really into that kind of stuff as much in this game. I assume people that actually have a static group that raids Scob weekly are like maybe lower than 30% of the player base and of those people, maybe only a third of them would even want to do brutal modes.... So yea, 10% of the player base doing the brutals, and maybe only 10% of them actually maybe beating it eventually... So that leaves us with 1% getting the benefit... It's not cause it's so hard that people aren't skilled enough or anything. People just consider raiding in this game to be unfun, I guess? Personally i think it's fun.
