Where does SE lack when it comes to casual content, or do they lack at all?

The clear rates of raid content in FFXIV have always been low for the general population - just check the public PSN trophy data for FFXIV ARR and the first Coil. That's why it's always so funny to me when people make sweeping statements about everyone having already geared up with X gear.

For casual players who do not aggressively farm content (thus burning out on it), the game has plenty of content. For players more towards the 'mid-core' who do more aggressively farm content, much of the dungeon and older primal content is stale because they have ground it to dust with their relic grinds and so forth.

IMHO the solution is to upgrade all dungeons with respawning monsters and patrolling monsters. Also fix level sync so that dungeons cannot be steamrolled through over-gearing. We already have the option to run unsync'd, so why not tighten up the rules for level and ilevel sync? it might not fix things for players already burned out, but it would maintain the level of challenge of dungeons better, and discourage people from mindlessly grinding them, which may in turn help prevent burnout.

The clear rates of raid

Im still on the fence on whether unsync is a good feature or not in the first place and especially with skip potions coming will there really be a need to do the same to hw content like arr content. I just dono tbh I get both sides of it , why people would rather do the steamroll , and how it could also be a negative thing as well. I really think they should up the social interactions, I think with the emotes , dances and things this is something that's so unique about this game compared to others that Id like to see it taken a step further. So many people really do stand around and talk and just hang out as if they were hanging out in real life I see it so often it would be nice to do more with that system I think its one of the biggest draws to the game once you start playing.
