Just to let you know, but SE balanced each job based on its coil performance, recall the BLM buffs ? that was based on 2nd coil performance, class balance is a huge element to a mmo, and if this game was so casual friendly just using your terms here for that word, then SE wouldnt care about balance at all.

Theres a large section of this game that actually caters to end game more then you think.

CT, ST and WOD were all designed to be a catch up method in place of coil drops, the extreme primals drop gear that is close to coil gear and its pretty much catered towards end game players, your term of the word casual falls flat here.

A large portion of crafted gear has end game players in mind more then casual, have you tried to meld 5 materias before.
