Sadly, people say XIV should stray far away from XI in terms of creating long term goals and meaningful content. We don't even need "hard" content, just content that takes teamwork (i.e CoP era FFXI) or content that isn't designed for every whiny player that has only 2 hours a week to play an MMORPG, this is the problem. It's not a problem if you don't have much time (I certainly have less time than I did 12 years ago) but I have more than enough time to actually dedicate to long term content.

Guildleves were supposed to be for those people while SE created real content for others who craved it but sadly they pushed this game out way before that was realized.
I 100% completely agree with you. Plus usually the "casual" gamers that most of the content is geared to usually tend to jump ship from mmo to mmo more frequently.
