[Personal Opinion] FFXIV is too casual friendly

[AureliusDraconium]

Where are those requests? Can you link them please. There are tons of requests by the hardcore community especially on this forum to make the game harder. SE doesn't appear to be listening. Personally when farming tomes for whatever I'm not interested in savage level difficulty.

Yeah I would rather not have difficult content for farming tomes either. I use to be in the make everything harder camp and "omg casuals are ruining the game" but changed when I got a real job and do a full load of grad school at night. Yes there are people who do this and raid but a very small portion do this. When I was an undergrad I played 6 hours daily minimum and sometimes 12 hours daily so I wanted everything a lot harder even daily dungeon running because I put so much time into this game. The fact is the majority of the player base is older, has kids and works a full time job. Majority are just doing good to cap tomes. It's just the reality of it for this game.
