FFXIV actually does a good job of providing a wide variety of content (if anything, the game is more casual-focused than it is hardcore). I also don't see where adjustments to AST made the game anything other than more enjoyable for the majority of players, whether we're talking about casual or more difficult content....

I'm sure SE is staffed by big boys and girls who can take some constructive criticism. They know that introducing new Jobs etc. will provoke a rush of both positive and negative feedback, and that's just how it goes. They can be worried when players stop asking for buffs, nerfs, additions, etc., because that will mean that no one cares.
