What did casual to mid-core players get? The ability to give raiders gil for a mount or hairstyle. It just feels like a rich get richer and poor get poorer situation where the favorited player base gets everything and the other player base only gets the ability to hand over their money to the favorites.
That applies when Gil is around as a somewhat limited currency, but you can generate it en masse out of nowhere through roulettes, turn-ins and society quests.
