Basically, there are too many competing interests of FF fans and MMO players that just end up ruining the game overall for everyone. So separate servers with different rulesets are needed.

They should implement a PvP server, hardcore server, casual server, a server with lighter restrictions (see Optimal Rank and Favoured Class system).

And everyone will live happily after.

It's a bit presumptuous to make MMOs around a one-size-fits-all policy.
You don't need seperate servers to cater to different groups. All you need is content that pleases each group. Each type of player indirectly benefits from the existence of the others. Seperating them all with special rules for each just sterilizes the game and honestly would make it less appealing to me.
