When I said "They" I meant CBU3, I didn't say the casual players, lol. That's why I added at the very end that CBU3 did this not with savage players in mind, but with the idea of complete mass appeal.

You can literally walk into the instance by putting your cipher in and waiting for your other 45 randos to join. You don't need too much of a special expertise in the game to clear it.

Even if I agreed that FT is hardcore, it's still only 3 things: Chaotic, FT and Ultimate. You aren't talking about the rest of things they have released: ALL of Occult Crescent. All of Cosmic Exploration. All the hunt marks and fates on DT's overworld, the 3 alliance raids, the 7 expert MSQ dungeons, the Job Quests, Deep Dungeon, Manderville Quests, seasonal events and I can go on and on, the majority of what they release is casual.

Casual and Hardcore content only kind of share extremes and savages and that's it.

The argument of "it's not very engaging" doesn't matter, that's another subject, but they're certainly NOT appealing to hardcore raiders in this game.
