People still huddle up in Reverents Toll, oh sorry I mean Idyllshire, hanging around waiting for DF... Hunts are well, hunts which isn't a compliment. FATEs are worse than 2.0 due to risk vs reward.

FFXIV has it's player base now. It's safe to cater to them and try new ideas. You don't have to keep dumbing down content for new players because they have levels 1-50 to teach them.
