Trends in content types and faux difficulty

[Zezlar]

i think SE designed the content this way is to satisfy both casual and hardcore players. I don't think content like Absolute Virtue in FFXI will appear again in FFXIV

I don't understand how it was meant to satisfy each group. The casuals don't have the time to put in for such horrendous drop rates, so they're not going to be able to dedicate as much time to getting anything from the raids. The hardcore spam the content so much that they begin to loathe and burn out in a week or two. This type of content is simply bad. The dungeons themselves are fine, but I don't see this process flying in 2.0
