IMO this shouldn't be a conversation of casual vs. hardcore content. It should be a conversation of one time only/cookie cutter content vs. meaningful repeatable content. One of the main problems with the game these days is that so much dev is spent on garbage like the Tataru quest series and the Hildebrand quests that people click through once and then forget exists. Does anyone actually enjoy this stuff? The game would be a lot more enjoyable if they completely cut that stuff, beast tribes and custom deliveries and replaced it with more meaningful content that gave people a reason to log in.

Beast tribes are literally the same "talk to an npc", "click on 3 shinies", "get on the mount that we'll give you as a reward later and talk to an npc" quest that they've been giving us for 10 years. Custom deliveries are the same "gather/craft 6 arbitrary items" weeklies that they've been giving us for 10 years.

95% of the game is either pointless nontent or soulless cut and paste. Dawntrail feels like AI generated content that was trained on Sb, Shb and Ew.
