Gath wonders....

There should be some fights that some people are never able to beat, and some gear that only the best of the best can get.

If people want to be casual that's cool, but should the entire game be scaled down to that sort of dedication level? Nop.

you must define challenge as Absolute Virtue difficult, or perhaps Pandemonium warden before it's difficulty nerf.

Bro I played XI but I never did any of those fights, so I'm not going to waste people's time by drawing connections to fights in games that I'm not completely familiar with.

What I can tell you, with absolute certainty, is that the current NMs/dungeons/what have you in XIV are easy. And ideally, in a game with all sorts of content to suit all needs, there would be content that only the most skilled would be able to complete.
