You do know that even at level cap, you are a minority player? Does that mean that we should cater the game strictly to leveling? No, that would be a dumb way to design a game. I forget the stat off of the top of my head, but admittedly by SE own stats released about 30% of the player base makes up the end game community.

Coils had a 10% participation rate, with about 5% reaching a full clear before heavensward.

Do you have a source for the 30% figure?

According to this post, "By the end of October, around half of active players have cleared Alex Normal," which indicates that at least "around half" of active players were at the level cap at that time.

Lucky Bancho's most recent unofficial census puts the number of active players at 507,722 and the number of players who've cleared the 3.0 story (which requires the player to have at least one level 60 job) at 354,091, which would be almost 70%.
