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

I think it's just incredibly tone deaf. Casual players are never going to do content above extreme difficulty. They just aren't. Every single metric you look at proves it. So here's this hairstyle that is attractive to that playerbase probably more than the hardcore players that are obtaining it and selling it and in their infinite wisdom they didn't just add the item to some other activity in the game instead of cheapening it by selling it on the marketboard. So when I buy it for a few million gil, I won't have the same sense of accomplishment.

I just wish we actually got some long forms of casual content. Where are the relics? Even the new exploratory zone is off in the distance, but hey, keep subscribing. We care about your playstyle.

TWO updates, not one, but two updates with the only meaningful content being stuff that appeals to the top 10 percent of the playerbase while the other 90 percent get chicken feed. Great tactic.

This has been an ongoing issue with the game since Endwalker began.
I have no problem with harder content getting glams, hairs and mounts to sell, but casuals dont get shit to do.
That said there is a large sect of casual players who do not even play the casual content we did get so the line does have to be drawn at some point. If your gameloop involves afking in limsa every day you shouldn't just have free items mailed to you

The irony is that nobody is saying items should be mailed to you. The problem is they expect to give the casual player nothing but bread crumbs and expecting us to cheer it. No relic, no exploratory zone. Nothing, not a damn thing to do. Heck, this expansion has been out about six months, and I've unsubscribed for three of them, and I'm already caught up on what little I had to do from before.

This game just sucks for us right now. And what makes it worse is this whole thread is dumb. Just buy it for 5 million gil when the market tanks. Bam, the issue is solved. The problem is that the whole context of that takes 5 minutes to achieve. And that's what's wrong with the game.

And I'm going to unsubscribe again soon.
