-> Hardcore will prove they're good by equiping it, also sell extra copy on AH/Ward with expensive price

-> Most Player who can't camp the NM will try their best to buy the rare drop, try makeing gils by crafting, farming, grouping with LS to fight HNM, event, to gain gil... or even skip the whole thing and buy gil on the web.

-> then a lot of RTM player will show up and camp for it,

In summary, hardcore player will play, regular player will play, RTM player will play.

Who benifit? SE and the whole community becuase a lot of player keep online to make the game more lively.

So, Why not ?
I'm sorry, but your entire post makes me question if you even play FFXIV. There isn't even an Auction House, nor RMT, because everyone is rich....

Moving on.

Because CHALLENGING Content will eventually (1 month) not be a challenge and will be come routine, just like the mobs we have now. Make sense?
