Have we gone too far?

Hmm I thought Yoshi from the outset said that XIV was to be a very casual MMO to bring in bigger crowds, or appeal to fans of the previous single player FF series (some brand new to MMOs) .

I dont have a source for this, so you can take it or leave it.
Sadly if you want a super hardcore/grind MMO, you are in the wrong place.

Not sure how far the OP has got in terms of raid content, but if he/she is farming t13 on a weekly basis, then they are well within rights to say this game is too easy. If not, then they still have some content left to challenge them.
