Difficulty format for Normal and Savage will remain in 4.0

What I wonder is, how much can you cater to this 'majority' till all end game content is just a complete joke?

Looking at diadem, palace of the dead, and platoons... It already is. I guess we will see how many subs this format can retain in 4.0, my guess is not many. Blizzard already walked down this path and lost 1/2 their subs.... Now Yoshida wants to follow Blizz. GG

The thing i feared the most in 2.X is becoming a reality in 3.X

I wouldn't go that far. FFXIV is still a quality MMO. I may not agree with some of their end game approaches, and their execution of new ideas is questionable, but I will still play this over other MMO's any day.

diadem and palace of the dead should be catered to the 1%? good idea, why not just take the game down right now and we can be wildstar 2.0.

honestly, the problem is neither so much difficulty, but the lack of content and the insanely boring way content is designed. it was okay for relaunching the game but now we're here 3 years later and it's the same stuff... just even less. and with lots of duds while trying to design content that fits into their rigorous base game design.

besides, I think pushing normal mode into a later patch would help the raid scene a bit out too, but it wouldn't fix any of the base problems. plus, SE has already established normal mode into their boring ass grind to keep you busy paying subs. for them it's a double win. for us, not so much.
