    Neither casual or hardcore players should be getting forced into content they don't want to do for whatever reason, and while you can tell yourself that the game needed "correcting" after the supposed snoozefest of Endwalker by making Dawntrail as hard as possible, said correction seems to have caused a MUCH bigger dip in the player count than whatever might have occurred during Endwalker that might have made people leave.

    If you think the current downward trend is worth it so you can have normal content not be normal anymore, keep on demanding more of it I guess, you probably don't notice fewer players around on Aether anyway so you have everything to gain and nothing to lose..
    Don’t pretend like the dip in DT can be entirely ascribed to the fact that you don’t like harder casual content, nobody likes DT for a multitude of reasons but the change in casual content has had as many supporters as it has had detractors, hell it was one of the few times yoshi p came right out and said “we messed up” in regards to EW’s casual content.

    Their internal metrics probably aren’t saying “the playerbase collapsed because we made casual content hard” when the DT casual content difficulty change is something yoshi p directly implemented due to EW feedback
