Am I the only one here who read Yoshi's interview with Time? Part of that interview included him explaining that SE and he consciously made the decision to create a game that would attract and hold people who had n.e.v.e.r. played an mmorpg before. It's working, it seems. Some of those people will eventually be just as good as anybody here, if not better, at playing FFXIV; and along with those who remain ever so casual, the player base will have been expanded along with SE's income. That's a good business decision. Good on 'em.

So, they nerfed SoF. Big deal not, imo. In a month it will be outdated content for most here.
