I enjoy the direction this game is going

I am not going to type out an essay on hardcore. I already posted in another thread. You can check it out here if you want.

The funny thing is that you seem to be placing me together with the casual camp. This is ironic since you assumed that I misjudged you as hardcore when you are doing the exact same thing. If you read all my other posts, you will realize I am casual in the number of hours played but I am "hardcore" in what I want to achieve from the game.
And please stop with all the "Casuals are just sour grapes that want to be hardcore but can't". That is just total BS. You are basically saying that everyone that can't clear extreme primals and t5 wants it to be nerfed. This is a direct insult to me as if you read the post above, I chose to join an FC that was starting on T5 instead of one that had T5 on farm. You know because not all of us filthy casuals just want shinies to be handed out to us. Since I joined the forums, I have not seen more than 3 posts that ask for content to be nerfed and now when you see the front page, 3/4 of it is filled with rage induced posters who can't seem to leave their ffXI or ffxiv 1.0 shell, cluttering the entire forums with basically the same thing.

And finally, regardless of whether you are hardcore or casual, having players hold a company hostage is never a good thing from a business standpoint. And if a game has to base their decisions solely based on their customers, then they are not going to be focused and will collapse eventually when they leave. So yes, the door is that way. Please show yourself out and careful not to bang your head on the wall.

I dont think all casuals are sour grapes and while I can agree somewhat with your opinion on hardcore vs casual I have to disagree with some aspects of it the major one being time investment so while I respect your opinion I am sorry to disagree to it I wont try to change your opinion however I suggest you reread my post and understand I am not labeling ALL casuals as sour grapes wanting everything handed to them like I said many times I consider myself heavily casual and to me I would consider you fairly hardcore. I am not asking for the game to be beefed up to unimaginable difficulty nor am I asking it to be watered down to a mear 0.002% apple juice per litre. I am asking for content FOR ALL PARTIES to be observed in equal fasion instead of what everyone cries about on the forums saying the other people are wrong. This includes hardcore content (crystal tower HM and EX anyone ?) casual content (mission scenarios more minions and mounts to play with maybe some vanity items to get) and medium content (HM primals crystal tower HM) to deny one group saying well they are only 10% of the population they shouldnt get anything is an insult to everyone. I consider the sour grapes anyone in ANY group who wants the game catered to them and only them that includes hardcores who want Ninja Gaiden on NES difficulty casuals who want to push the log in button and get everything and the medium players who hate anything they cant do...

As for players crying for nerfs do a search for titan and see how many threads come up.
