I know...this is going to sound convuluted as hell but I got to thinking/remembering. I played XI in the DAYS OF YORE....aka now I am an old person playing FFXIV. I cannot speak to what has happened to XI just that many people went to WoW b/c OMG XI was too hard!!

If any old school players remember Dynamis and BCNM's, NM's, HNM's, Sky, Sea and raiding in that game in general....do you think this player base is simply lacking for this type of content.
