Can this still be called Chess, after those kind of changes?
I'm wondering if you and I just have a different understanding of what a casual is. To me a casual player is someone who doesn't necessarily play everyday and doesn't aim for the hardest content. It's not a permanent position though, I consider myself a casual now as I play maybe 3 days a week and am happy doing less time consuming stuff than the harder content, I used to do all that stuff but it can be time consuming and demanding.

Its a choice I made, and has everything to do with time and nothing really to do with class complexity. Im a casual in FFXI as well and that game is 10 times more complex than FFXIV has ever been.
