The general player base needs to improve

[Gallus]

And you see no problem there?

Not gonna judge whether it's right or wrong, but if that's what the majority of the playerbase feels comfortable with, I'm afraid we all have no choice but to adapt to it. Personally, I do agree there's a certain degree of lazyness among the FFXIV community when it comes to handling relatively complex mechanics, but I too think it has nothing to do with SE and more with the community wanting something specific from this game. Players spend 10 times more gil in glamour than they do in anything else. That should give you a hint.
