Keeping the game basic for new players?

[Magis]

Lets focus on hardcore players and ignore newbies and filthy casuals.

Look how that worked out for wildstar.

A person can play casually and still want more complex and difficult content. How much time a person puts into the game has no bearing on the difficulty of content. There are "casuals" playing twice a week clearing coil. It's kind of sad that wanting a more complex system (and let's face it, the bar is pretty damn low in FFXIV), with difficult content is now considered "hardcore".
