While their post comes of as elitist (it doesn't), your post comes off as selfish. You are suggesting that because you are older that the game should be less interesting for the majority to cater to your specific circumstances.

Not selfish or to use the more common term entitled at all. The age reference was purely a way to counter the "git gud" comment implied in the update as it doesn't take into account a person can be good within a different context than the originator of the comment. I personally don't care that SE, Blizzard or any of the other companies make higher level content. I don't care that they get higher level gear. Yet whenever threads arise someone talks about how easy content ruins the game and makes people lazy as if it will fix the reality that not everyone cares to progress or has the ability progress to the harder levels of content. It is natural that the available player pool will decrease the harder the content and nothing will change that. The end result of all of this is people being accused of being elitist or entitled when the game has an ability to accommodate both and in general what is good for one group is good for the other.

Personally I much prefer this game over WOW and have found the in game community here to be much better than I saw in WOW (been there for close to seven years). I like the different ways I can gear up with FF XIV. I am more oriented to the storyline and questing. I was running normal level raids in WOW and to be honest after seeing a boss for the umpteenth time I reached a point I didn't care anymore. Here while I primarily do instanced content as part of the storyline I have alternatives to get decent gear that don't require me to run a raid a 100 times. Much less boring in my mind not to mention alternatives are good.

Are there things I wish could be improved? Yes. One area is crafting where I have similar feelings about it as you do. I also don't care for the way banking seems to be a mishmash of store one type of item here, another there and yet another someplace else. Lastly not to digress but the way RMT is handled which has made me quit once before and just might do it again.
