FFXIV is for casuals not for the hardcore with no job or care for there own time. This game was meant to be played at a casual pace not being on the game 12 hours a day every single day rushing through content at blazing speeds. There is tons to do in this game its just that most of it doesn't appeal to the hardcore players.

Just face it SE added SOME elements of hardcore to the game but it isnt going to do anything more because casuals>hardcore players because of one thing only and thats subs the casual player will be subbed longer then the hardcore players that sub for a month or two blazing through the new content then unsub.
