    Actually, it was the willingness of the Development team to not sacrifice Solid Gameplay Mechanics and Lasting Content for the sake of Catering to casual players.

    FFXI fans actually enjoyed doing HNMs a hundred times and Running Up 100 Floors of Nyzul Island because when you finally got it done, it felt like you did something. You didn't just win and forget it until the next raid in three months where you replaced all the Top Tier gear you worked so hard to obtain.

    FFXI was the last of the Unforgiving Hardcore MMOs. Most people didn't give up on it until they gave in to the Casual Playerbase which they never actually needed.
