I am a new player that is just switching over from WoW, and one of the aspects of WoW that I have come to hate the most is the state of older content. You really no longer even play WoW, or even the the current expansion - you are only playing the most recent patch, and everything before it is dead. This is true with a lot of the lower level content that just gets skipped over and the end game content that gets left behind for dead.
I was wondering how FFXIV is with it's older content. At level 50 and 60, is there still any kind of incentive and/or need to run the older dungeon and raid content to get to the newest content, or are the older raids now dead?

Thanks!
