Boring Endgame

Perhaps, but here's the thing. WoW's raids are the way they are because the crew at the very top were former EQ raiders. It was their passion. That is why WoW has always had the best raids. Doesn't mean they have the best everything else. Every MMO is weak somewhere. There is a finite amount of resources and manpower available for every MMO company to use. So if SE focuses more on raiding, some other area will suffer as a result. I'm not really sure people would be in favor of more trash in raids. Not unless it had a 1-5% chance to drop some kind of decent loot.

Either way at the end of the day, it's not really that smart to design content for at best 10% of your playerbase while ripping manpower/resources from other things.

The thing is FFXIV is weak on every aspect other than graphics and art design. While it was understandable during 2.0 (as SE was in a rush), it is harder to understand in Heavensward.

In order to improve game design one only need a paper and a pencil (any tabletop RPG player knows that).
