If you continue to dumb down the game, you will lose half your player base

Or as this poster put it:

You see tons of FFXIV players literally have only played FFXIV as their only MMO. They think people who don't want the main game to be a pointless game with no obstacles want the game to be fucking Dark Ultimate Souls DX: Prepare to be killed edition when in reality most people are just asking for the midcore crowd to not get the shaft and for normal content to be engaging.

Likewise, I'm not aware of anyone asking for the game to become "super complex" - not the OP, and certainly not in this thread. The majority of us are just asking for the above.
