It's "raiders who only like challenging endgame battle content" vs "completionists who enjoy PvE timesinks."

I guarantee you that the PvE timesink people are the ones who generate more money for SE (due to constant Mogstation infusions and paying for 10 retainers to hold all their stuff), who have more hours logged (I apparently hit 700 days recently), and who probably have more accomplishments in the game, even if those accomplishments don't include UWU, a Feast ranking, or a world first savage win.

Once again, though: I think the raiders do deserve more content. Due to the nature of software development, adding that content is not easy because they cannot clone experienced battle content programmers, and sometimes they can't even hire them for any price. But if SE has to prioritize one thing, taking into account the iron triangle of software development, I'm okay with raiding being the one thing that gets some extra love. Twelve knows I've still got plenty of other things to do.

Just don't call me a "casual" as an insult because I choose to spend my 30 hours a week in this game fishing or leveling up alternative jobs or grinding out of date anima weapons for the achievements.
Standing ovation
