We need more casual PvE content.

The issue is literally everyone who cares enough to use the official forum falls into the "hardcore" category, in spite of many of us not being high end raiders.

Honestly, I agree that the game seems to favor the players that want killer grinds or difficult content. We used to get a lot more side story stuff in the patches, not just Hildibrand. I wonder if maybe the time that went into minigames and side-quests is what is now put into the limited jobs.

Also, I feel the devs are forgetting that hardcore players usually do casual content, but the reverse isn't true.

Calling everything a "casual" player refuses to do "hardcore" is reductive. It's a race to the bottom mentality.
