For those who do want a challenge, there is always the Savage and Ultimate fights - that's why they exist.
I'd like to know who this majority is, because I haven't seen any complaints about difficulty outside of people with physical handicaps (who I would expect to be in the minority).


WoW vs FFXIV is pretty much an age-old comparison. Back in 2.0+, I remember there being an influx of WoW players complaining about the level grinding being "too hard," so the FFXIV players were basically all "go home to WoW." I've never played WoW, personally, so I don't know if it is that much easier... but I honestly really don't want to see an easier, streamlined, or simplified MSQ for FFXIV and I'm a casual player (as in I've never done savages and I've only done extremes a couple times.). Some trials, like the Chrysalis and Shinryu when they both originally came out, were very difficult for me... and once I/my party beat them, it was very satisfying. Felt accomplished. Most of the casuals I've met in FCs and whatnot felt the same way.
