Ableism and elitism from the hardcore community is damaging FF14

[Garnix]

have you ever thought that people boost because they are too anxious to play with others? Boosting helps players with social anxiety to skip to the part of the game where it is only necessary to play with NPCs.

I need to know...How many players boosted for this specific reason?
In fact, I would actually like to know how many players boosted and knew before even using the boost that they could play through the 71+ dungeons with NPCs.
Also, if that's truly their reason, I hope they played at least until level 15 before boosting.

Many. There are many people like me who don't want to be harassed by hardcore, elitist players who prefer to play by themselves. Trust was a major feature mentioned in all the reviews of Shadowbringers.

Seems to me you just don't want Hardcore players or content in the game based off your very first post ever and from what I've read here.

Cut Ultimate to make more midcore content.
Only 1% of the player base will ever play Ultimate. More than 50% of the player base is midcore and will enjoy midcore content.

We'll see the Ultimate raiders clearing the Ultimate then doing nothing for the entire expansion and unsubbing. If you make good midcore content with longevity, people will play them the whole expansion. This isn't just good for the majority of players, it's good business strategy too.

Remind me why so much content is cut in favor of Ultimate, and why Ultimate raiders are still not satisfied and keep whining about other people's content like Male Viera?
