Back to the matter of PvP, it is poor in design because they lack the understanding that PvP is not made to be a casual thing in a MMORPG. Unless they take the risk of reworking things from scratch, which in turn might attract more players overall, things arent going to change for FFXIV PvP. Simply adding another Mode and then call it a day, simply wont do it, we have seen how far this kind of thing got us when they added Onsal Hakair and Rival Wings Hidden Gorge, and it will definitely happen again.
This argument is completely lost on me because I fundamentally and strongly disagree with your definition of casual. You use casual like an ad hominem, I think there are plenty of people who used to be hardcore raiders that became casual as real life dictated it. I also think there are plenty of causal players who care about pulling their weight they just don't have 8 hours a day to play the game.
