FFXIV population decline continues

You do realize it is the casual players that built this game to success. If they want to focus on the 2% of the midcore/hardcore playerbase, they should expect the numbers to continue to plunge.

This us versus them narrative is so goddamn tired. Other MMORPGs cater to both types of players just fine. It's not a case where you have to forsake one to do the other. Stop stepping all over the things others enjoy about the game just to prop up the things you enjoy about the game. It's pointless.

EDIT: I just realized, you're the person from the other day who made the insanely deranged, "We do not forget, we do not forgive," speech in the other thread. I don't know why I'm bothering.

Objectively, they aren't wrong. For every one hardcore raider there's probably over a dozen casuals. Statistically, the casual audience has a way larger stake than the combined hardcore audience; objectiveness aside, if the majority of people who play this game for super super casual content, the story, some roleplay, maybe fishing? then suddenly amping up the difficulty is obviously going to see people unhappy.
