The difficulty of Normal Content in this game needs to increase.

This youtuber explains perfectly why MMOs are losing their standing in general, the fun is being sucked away at all varying levels.

The cause? Because Devs think Frustration=Losing Subs in the modern day MMO, and afraid to teach players. Only small MMO dev Teams nowadays are making games with appropriate difficulty, Corporate MMOs are going in the opposite direction with many bad decisions.

I'm not saying FFXIV is heading in this direction, but it teeters on the edge on a couple of fronts. The overworld and dungeon content specifically however in my opinion is compromised.

Sums its up perfectly

It worries me how similar these Mega MMORPGs are now these days, the chasing of money is destroying our fun.

If they don't chase money, they're not going to stay afloat. There have been some fun and interesting concepts over the years, but they only ever applied to a niche crowd or never quite had the support they needed.

I'll clarify abit what I meant, the greed is destroying MMOs, these Corporations will never fall under.

Zenimax is the worst offender.

Its not the Developers of these Mega MMOs driving their games into the ground, but their Nameless Stakeholders & Higher Ups which most often never get called out, and the Developers end up being the scapegoat sadly.

Yeah, there's that too. EA and NCSoft are both awful publishers.
