They weren't generalizing any more than you did with "casual players are not indifferent, we care how our jobs play".


And he's absolutely right in asking, just look at what they said about designing reaper, they said they knew the class was going to be popular, so they didn't want to make it too hard.
We already have tons of classes that cater to casual players, why mush SCH(which used to be the skillful healer), play braindead like WHM?

Like it or not, casuals are the root of the problem for why SCH is in such a bad state, of course it's not like they have done anything wrong, no one is specifically blaming casual players, casuals are what keep ffxiv alive and thriving after all.

But it IS the develepors fault for always catering to them and not giving any thought to the players who want a challenge or *gasp!* more than 1-2 buttons to spam.
If the devs actually stopped doing that, they might find that alot of casuals actually don't mind a mild challenge here and there, they just need a little push.
