Is progressive content or the community to blame for player skill gap?

Yesterday: more than 300 minutes DF waiting for "The Weeping City of Mhach"
Not only old Content becomes a marathon...

There is little to no motivation for doing old content again!
SE tried to use prickwalls with relicts and made it even worse because now you just farm it once and then you will never see it again...
Relict was just one example, look at how many stopped doing "wondrous tales".
The more gamble SE adds into the "progress" or "target goal" more and more players will just turn their back on it...
At beginning (2.0) a lot were farming pets or mounts, but at current state its not possible to collect all of them (look at pvp ranking)... you know why pokemon is famous for years?
Square Enix having good ideas, but they have awful taste of balancing!
When i see korean and japan players who love to grind things, saying they need a break and are not motivated to do those things in ffxiv, you have to question if SE is on the right path.

SE trying to defend on fanfest with showing us 24h grindings (example atma) and telling us "its not as rare as you think" but i do not think that motivates many to come back or start the quest again... Its like telling you all is ok and you do something wrong! When it comes to gambling, the fun stops and sorry but RNG is pure gambling!

Edit: I forgotten to say something about the weeklies - special because i mentioned "The Weeping City of Mhach"
It helps, but only one or 2 days after weekly reset because it IS a weekly cap... i can understand why they cap it, but that way it doesnt help much against the problem. Still, it is better than nothing!
