Normally, I would agree to have plenty of casual, low-level content around. I play casually myself, after all, so it would be natural to give in to those selfish desires.

But, the writing is on the wall. With subscription fees being charged and 2.0 on the horizon, we're not going to see much in the way of new players being brought into FFXIV for the next year.

No, the majority of people who will stick around to pay fees are the hardcore, die-hard FF players who are more interested in collecting the limited-time-offer endgame gear before it all goes away when 2.0 arrives. For that reason, I don't mind that there's powerleveling, because there's no point, really, in catering to a casual base that won't be around.

Keeping what community the game can is the best thing it can do, in my opinion. Entertained hardcore players is definitely the best bet. Bring back the casual players in 2.0.
