How do people calling themselves casual feel about the difficulty level?

I mean maybe you have a point there, I won't say you don't. If you were to walk around the main cities or mor dhona though, wouldn't you say that a majority are walking around with a primal ex weapon or maybe even a allagan weapon? It could be just my server Leviathan though. Maybe I just notice them. One thing I can say that I am *not* seeing as much are the Zenith weapons.

That's because a part of the minority which had zenith weapons now have primal weapons (wich are for the majority better than relics, let's be honest). Also, no wonder people downing T5 (their number is slowly growning, I think I read something about 5% of playerbase) have their allagan weapons you know? ^^

The majority of the EX weapons are NOT better than Zenith. Most of them don't give the required accuracy needed for T4-5 or of the primary stat, so way less than half are actually BIS (not counting i95, of course) for i90.

The main reason people use EX weapons so often for alt classes is the mentality of: "I'm not going to spend 900 philo and 900 myth for an alt weapon."

I personally have all the EX weapons (even though I don't have everything at 50). It basically comes down to (for alts at least), do I want to spend 6300 philo and 6300 myth on 7 alt classes? Or get a comparable item for free once a week for 30 minutes of time investment?
