They could easily just pull out of doing another LoV, TT, Diadem, etc. and make some more content for the main game.

It doesn't have to be the latest raid either; Go back and rescale some of the older trials or dungeons into Extreme modes with scaled up stats and maybe one or two new mechanics in the treadmill for the boss programming.
XIV is unique in that it's aiming to provide a variety of content, not just endgame raiding. Some things will succeed, others will not. The people that are going to (are already?) complaining about there being no hardcore content are those who don't want to do anything but raiding instead of looking out at the beautiful world of Eorzea and learning about its people, culture, and history. They'd rather sit in Alexander fighting the same four bosses time and again - fair enough, but there ought to be things to do besides endgame raiding, which is what things like Lord of Verminion and the Diadem aim to provide. (Though I'm not sure if Yoshi-P added LoV because he wanted to, or because XIV is popular and profitable right now and thus a good way for Square to advertise the arcade game...)

If you retune old raids, you will just get the same complaints from raiders that casual players are giving out about their content - it's being rehashed.
