Unofficial Census 2016 for FFXIV

[Remus]

snip.

I won't deny that casuals outweigh raiders because your right. With that said though they have been appealing to casuals for awhile and the population is still going down with each patch so is appealing to only casuals really working? They have been doing it for 3 years and quite a few casual friends of mine have left or are tired of tomestone -> Farm tomestone -> Get gear wait till next even patch and repeat.

it's costing the game subs it can lose as, once casuals start actually jumping ship we will see real numbers drop.

They have already dropped. Throughout the patch cycles. Also no matter what kind of player you are hardcore or casual you are still a sub in the end and if Raiders leave they are still losing potential money they could keep. They have already said they plan on making changes to how Savage is when Yoshi-p got asked about it from the Level -5 CEO saying how Savage has no incentive and they should fix it on a Live Letter so clearly they care about Raiders and not just Casuals.
