    You are completely misrepresenting what is being said here, even casual content still has something of an experience, and if the fight is made too easy due to iLvl creep and other factors, then that experience is ruined, we aren't asking for days of prog to clear one Normal raid, we are asking for the fight still take a casual, completely new group something so they feel the fight, like maybe they wipe once or twice, but get it anyway, I even gave a prime example of how bad it can be with the Endsinger, y'now, the final boss of the whole 10 year long storyline, being made too easy within her expansion, and it was such a problem that the devs acknowledged it and set a stricter limitation, as without feeling the full length of the final phase, the whole "the indifferent cruelty of the universe vs the indomitable human spirit" message of the fight is completely ruined.

    I actually had a fun example of this this week, someone in my FC wanted to do M4N for his weekly sword, and someone else chimed in they'd like to join but they hadn't even cleared M1N, so we decide that's completely fine, we form a party and take them from the start to end of the raid tier, we even agree to pass on all the loot so they get it all and are able to upgrade their crappy 690 gear to much more viable if not perfect 710, and I had an absolute blast doing that, we wiped at least once every fight, and that was great, with little moments like our newbie chiming in "I hate her so much" immediately after we cleared Honey, it's an experience that won't be possible the same way in a year, because forming a party is easy, forming a MINE party is much harder.

    believe me when i say that i agree with your overall sentiment, it would be nice if things remained consistent an stayed as the beautiful spectacles that they are but they just won't because the casual content is not designed to stand the test of time or built to last they made it a one and done thing cause they know the majority wont waste their time to go back and do it especially with no incentives to do so.
    and i am sure mad as hell what they did to the open world experience its so disrespectful that is been reduced to "Set Dressings" for a play/production rather than a fully engaging and immersive experience like with that we had in ARR where you could actually go inside building and see or talk to many npcs an more but i've given up hope they will ever go back cause they've proven they don't care too or dont want to.
