People Enjoy hard Games

[Shurrikhan]

Casual players carry every game. Sorry, but hardcore players are just an extremely loud minority. If you make a game hostile to casual players, it dies because its population falls off a cliff. It's always been like that. Just look at all the "hardcore full loot PvP" games everyone claims to love. None of them have been successful.

Equating those who feel shafted by increased job simplifications and lack of midcore content in the interest of focusing only on what attracts the most casual of players or buoys XIV's Twitch presence to the "hardcore" players of "hardcore full loot PvP" games is... quite the stretch.

I never said that. Neither do I think not having more midcore content would be bad. Heck, I'm a pretty midcore player myself. I would welcome more things to do. I'm just sick of all the hate towards casual players. They're not the problem. The dev team not wanting to bother with balancing things and thus making all jobs play the same is.
