Why do casuals act as if it's the end of the world when suggesting?

Well, it was designed for his personal taste back in Heavensward. It was much harder back then. Demon Wall in Amdapor Hard. Even some job quests.
But a small or niche audience doesnt create much money. So he sacrificed FFXIV's original status as a "hard but fair MMORPG" just to be more accessable for more players. The thing is, games can be hard AND accessable at the same time. But that would require alot of work.

I hate it. I hate to see how FFXIV become easier and boring. Just for the sake of generating a bigger playerbase.
Alot things improved over the years, I know that. But the only thing which gets worse every time is the playerbase as a result of making things easier and boring.

While you and I seem to want very different things from the game, I am actually truly sorry that you and those like you aren't having fun like I am, which is the most Ive ever had in a video game. and I do hope you find the fun again.

I have fun. But I dare to run something with random people. Since Yoshi-P want to make the game more solo-friendly, I cant wait to go all content with NPCs only.
And on a side note, I ve been here since Beta of ARR. You dont know how FFXIV was in the good old days.

ahh okay and there is where the disconnect is. You probably actually dont wipe that often then, and I dont think either of our videos would be likely to change anyones mind about anything.

You are right I dont, and I regret that very much. There were times in my life where I would have appreciated a more challenging hardcore MMO and indeed have from time to time. Now just isn't that time for me. But honestly though, if it was? This isn't the game I would be playing.

You misunderstand me.

I ran all the leveling stuff with randoms. I did savage and ex with PF ppl. And i tried PvP with randoms obviously.
BUT: I keep all that content to the very minimun. I have no interest to run dungeons more than neccessary. I wont farm tomes or do PvP anymore. And no leveling, because everything is on max for months.

Since I want some glamour, I run Aglaia several times per week with 23 random ppl. And I experience only 1 wipe so far. I will make a video tonight.
