The causal versus hardcore discussion over Chaotic was an especially big eye-opener and instead of being the "bridge" Square-Enix tried to prop up as it, it ended up widening the chasm more than ever on just how much of the playerbase doesn't actually like to play together.
The friction Chaotic created within the player base was completely predictable, and perhaps the most damaging decision SQEX has made recently in terms of dividing players and revealing divisions.

Even players who liked the raid seem mostly frustrated by the implementation.
