Are we as players afraid of a challenge?

Abyssea was absolutely not a smash hit for XI, and has been blamed for ruining XI as it had been known. This caused a good amount of people to leave the game and spawned an insane number of requests for SE to roll back to "pre-abyssea" days.

I'd say Voidwatch had more to do with that than Abyssea. Then again, the hardcore cliques who had their apple carts overturned upon Abyssea's release would be expected to make this argument.

It was not only the "hardcore cliques" who were upset. Stop making stuff up.
