Absolutely wild that you think "half" of the players find it too hard. You've only weakened your point and it's weird that you think you're in the majority here.
And a post on the JP forums about OC feedback saying that Forked Tower should have only had a normal mode and not a hard/savage mode at all has 130+ likes, while other posts in the same thread suggesting the difficulty is fine can barely crack 10. What's your point?
People are vowing to continue voicing feedback in that thread (which itself is 130 pages long) until management gives them concrete, tangible changes, not just to Forked Tower, but to ffxiv as a whole

So yea, I'm gonna say the majority opinion is that people don't like the difficulty direction in dawntrail. The dam has broken on the JP side, and it's about ready to burst on the NA side too. That's probably why the person you quoted is lamenting these people being listened to. Not because they're a fringe minority, but because that's actually where the vast majority of players are. That's why they get listened to
