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

These two categories are not mutually exclusive.

Really? Never heard of that!

Jokes aside i never said raiders and casuals are mutually exclusive categories. And it changes absolutely nothing anyways. It is fact that far more players play the game in a casual way than in a hardcore raiding way. Speaking about Savages/Ultimates etc. here. Especially with Ultimates which get cleared by maybe idk 1% of the games population?

XIV attracts way more people who don't rush into the latest savages and ultimates but rather casual players. And there you have the reason why SE is catering to casuals more than to the hardcore raiding scene. Not to mention that casuals don't go into hibernation after every raid and actually pay also for other things while really many raiders are only into raiding which is not where the money lies for SE.

Hope now you understand it better and nice try, really.

Edit: These hardcore raiders are also those who cry about all the jobs getting to easy and casual. While the silent majority just goes with the flow. So thinking you (not you you but the hardcore raider base) makes half the games population and with SE catering more to casuals they will kill the game is beyond hilarious.
