First and foremost, knock of the massive presumptions of what I do. You are not me, and therefore have no idea how I choose to spend my time.

I am well aware of the content in this game, and have participated in virtually all of it. What I seem to be missing, however, is a semblance of any point in this rant outside you taking potshots because I happen to be on Balmung. Nothing you said has any relevance to the debate in question. You finding the game boring does not inherent mean the game is flawed. At no point have I said people shouldn't do xyz, but merely disagreed horizontal progression will have the perceived impact the OP believes. Then elaborated on why I feel that way. Now we're back to "raiders find the game boring after this finish x content." To which we circle back to where they make up a very small fraction of the community. Hence why SE isn't making content directly catering to their preferences outside a new tier of Savage every six months. That isn't an opinion, but fact. If FFXIV had the mass exodus you're insinuating, then it wouldn't remain among the most popular MMOs.
