The game does not and will not only cater to you or one single subset of the player base, so you might as well give up on that mindset.

They want to have the game have content for casual and some for hardcore players to keep both types playing. So the normal mode exists for one type and the EX version exists for the other type, it seems fair to me?

I mean what if I demanded that all content be hardcore content like savage and ultimate, you would definitely take issue with that because it is catering everything to only what I want and only to the hardcore players, right? Think about it.

Yet, I don't demand for such a thing because I know that more casual players enjoy the easier content in the game and I want everyone to have something they can do in FFXIV if possible because it keeps the game diverse and active with many different types of players.
