@whoever wants an end to easy mode. But if everything is hardcore how are the casual people who only go on for like 30 mins -1 hour accomplish anything?
We can have both sure and that is what the team is trying to do. However most Casuals see "casual content" as being devoid of all challenge/effort and that kind mentality simply cannot exist in a game that will be enjoyable to people who do not play MMO's as merely distractions from their dreary lives.

There should be stuff in the game that takes more than hour, but there can be plenty of stuff which can be done in only a short time. The thing is that a player shouldn't be able to experience everything in 30 minutes to an hour. If a player can log in get a personal chocobo, gain 5 levels, and get some of the best rewards in the game by doing little more than walking into a dungeon in that one hour. Well yeah that is going to make a pretty lousy MMO. Of course the people who are demanding that kind of a scenario are still better than those casuals who would simply like all of it to be simply bought in a cash shop.
