Going to the same route as WoW. The game is TOO easy

FFXIV never was a hardcore game in the first place, at least since 2.0 release (didn't play 1.0, can't say anything about this).

It always was casual-based and also kept style "make the gameplay okay for those who can spend only one hour per day online".

For those... roughly 5% of a whole playerbase who enjoy hard content, there is hard content. Maybe with a little bit low amount, but is there sense to make more if 95% will never even touch it?

XIV does not go in WoW direction. Because it never was WoW. The quality and difficulty of the content is pretty much on the same level as it was 5 year ago. Even if there are some simplifications, there are reasons for it, and I remember Yoshida saying clearly why: community changes, too. Modern gamers in its majority can't spend 10 hours per day online trying to kill one cursed RB, a big amount of people play, like, twice time per week. And they need to agjust the game for them, too, not only for hardcore players.
