binding of coil extreme mode

So this is basically what I've got from this discussion.
Group A OMG pls no recycled content.
Group B Yay a new challenge but not enough reward.
The development cycle for a AAA MMO is very long, those nice shiny graphics take a very long development cycle to refine and lots of man hours, much more so than an older MMO like FFXI and WoW. They've planned out the direction for the game 12+ months in advance based off of expected subscription sales. FFXIV is way above those expected values however it is unlikely we will see much change int he current development of the game. Possibly in the future with an expanded team (based off of actual subscription numbers) we could see larger scale development with more overall content but they just don't have the budget to do that. Honestly if they don't increase their amount of raid content after their first major expansion then I'd see reason to complain but at this stage in development they're still releasing their base systems (housing, gardening, treasure hunting, sightseeing, hunts, chocobo raising, arena pvp, objective pvp, gold saucer, personal housing, dungeons, primals, beast tribe quests etc.) It's hard to make an argument that they aren't developing lots of content. It's just not all raid focused. This version of coil that they are releasing is a low development budget easy to implement way of adding more content for the top tier elite players. They've already done the development cycle and testing for it (where they deemed it too hard). Adding a new title and access quest is easy, adding new sets of gear or other rewards, not so much. I'm not saying we shouldn't let our wants known and demand more. Just don't expect and major structural changes to their raid system until post 3.0

Personally I just want them to be less restrictive and more creative and fun on their process of creating.

Really disappoints me when a fun idea is left out because of "balance".
