    Yeah there is no excuse for most of the content creators not 'focusing' more 'meaningfully' on the plight of the non-static/casual player other than very low empathy. Mostly it's generally "mention the problem if I must, but it's not 'really' a problem if you want to solve it how I solve it."

    I found Mr Happy generally good at showing some understanding, (however as I was a casual his content was sadly still mostly still just irrelevant to me), then there is Cole Evyx and JMulls as well who show good empathy even though they are playing the game a high-end way.
    But that's literally about it of the creators that do a lot of highend. Sadly one of my favourite creators whos hallmark was objectivity and did generally casual content seems to have started to loose the plot a bit and develop siege mentality when they start to touch on high end.

    The rest though, the plight of casuals is a footnote, that is better solved by instead just playing the game their way, in between business as usual. Parasocial Sociopathy at the very least. I've found the EU high-end creators/commentators particularly out of touch, and a perfect explanation and reflection of the vibe on Light DC.

    Then there are the more casual content, creators, who do savage in the background, and do show much better empathy, but that's something different. I've noted a number of them saying they are not really doing savage type content anymore.

    And lastly the fully casual creators and lore enthusiasts. But they are so rare now and preciously few.

    Then there are there XIV creators who just no longer do XIV at all. And good for them. They are clearly having more fun that way, which gives them the passion to do great content .
