"Elitism" vs "Casualism"

[Yeol]

There is a reason why the game has varying difficulties for content. It's because the devs realise many types of players with different goals and skill levels play the game. Some players need to realise this too and stop demanding near flawless performance in content that requires significantly below that. .

People are not demanding near flawless performance. They are complaining because the average FFXIV players are doing less than 50% of that their job is capable of doing. Which in this case is not casual or average, this is below average. This is simply playing badly. Anyone who is coming up with excuses is encouraging bad play rather than face the fact that majority of the players in this game are bad. The dev team also said this themselves. They said that the battle system revamp is mostly to help the average players performance increase, hence why the battle system keep getting simpler and simpler.
