I guess I don’t understand why people who play casually (and there’s nothing wrong with that at all) would be worried about other content that is designed for people who wish to be challenged and a bit more hardcore?

Because we've already seen how it plays out in WoW. The playbook goes like this:

1. Difficult dungeon levels are added
2. Players don't find them fun, and no one runs them
3. Gear rewards are removed from the easier dungeons and shifted into the harder dungeons to force players into the harder dungeons through gear incentives
4. Players unsub

FFXIV's surge is due in no small part to WoW's elitist stance on dungeon content.
