Why do casual players seem entitled to cosmetic items added in game?

[Gurgeh]

1: Do hunt trains
2: Skill Issue
3: By being subbed and doing content for long enough, or by supplementing that gear you have with drops from Alliance Raids.
4: The five materials used in crafted gear and the material used in creating current endgame potions all cost 20 Allagan Tomestones of Aesthetics.
5: If you don't have enough tomes, that's a skill issue. Grind more.
6: You're just showing that you want people to bend to your whims here instead of looking at what's actually going on or joining the community to go look at when trains are being scheduled.
7: "I want lots of money without putting in any effort!"
8: "This is too easy, it's boring so I don't want to do it."
Pick one of the two stances to have.
9: You should probably play a more appealing game if this is your stance.

Allliances what rubbish. Not out until after savage came out.

I took two weeks off work did nothing but play this game. But I wasn't skipping, I was suplimenting a bring MSQ with side quests to make it playabel. And even with two weeks off, I still got through the game late. I don't know what happened, but to me it seemed the only way to do savage back then was with crafted gear, and tomes were only usefull to upgrade. Thats right I hadn't even reached my first EX byt the time savage was out. Much less having time to level crafing to make my gear. What can i say I didn't have the gil and as I've already said, Ive played the game every day for four years, bought two houses.
I agree with the last one. Its 'very' clearly not for me. Not endgame anyway. Its totally, totally different. But without staying subbed the social goes as well. I just want to free style, and do the stuff thats clearly marked out. You need gil to savage when it comes out, and gil is just not clearly marked out. Not kind of gil you need for raid gear.

I don't mind putting effort into battle, but not into working out longs chains of transactions to get from A > B> C > gil. OR lots of different things little hear little there. But not the retlentless slog for stuff like racing to level crafters in time to exclusion of all else. Hunt trains, that wasn't how hunt marks were supposed to be killed. They were supposed to be fun surely?
I need to understand want I'm supposed to do.

Your right its not for me. But I get a vibe they want more people in savage. But its software. They can change it. And they seem to be changing nothing. You want to convert casual gamers into raiders so you don't have to invest in other content then do that. For me the problem is I wanted to Enjoy MSQ organically > level crafting > do extremes > do savage when everyone else was. Savage came out and I hadn't even got to my first extreme, and I had no crafters ready to go. I was playing the game constantly, and I kind of enjoyed most of the MSQ except for the mass euthenasia at the end. (But I was flashing it out with side quests. Enjoying it, like the other four years)

At the end of the day I'm just slow and crap at the game. Try as I might playing all the time. I've just got nowhere.
I magine I'm not alone and so if I say something, it might actually help people like me join you. But I'm not sure there is anyone like me. The people like me, they already know they are done with even extreme and unreal. (and, yeh they've unsubbed and stopped)

I played the game constaly since it came out. Even two weeks of work. I finally finished MSQ on 22 July I think.I say I did side quests, but not really. I'd like follow up on some of the more intersting aetherite chain stories, and I helped about three forlorn looking NPCs. Apart form that it was just having fun in dawn trail. I couldn't have gone faster without ruining it. I was doing what I was thought I was supposed to do.
Maybe I had 'good enough' gear, but I also rememebr being worried abut goign into savage with minIlvl gear, I'd never even done extremes on minIlvl. I think I waited a bit to gear up for extreeemes. Maybe thats what fcksd me. I don't know.

Don't feel sorry or me. it sjust a game. It just seems a shame. Especially if I'm not the only one. I WISH, they'd explained some of this in the othr four years I've been playing.
