Apologists might not think so, but the grand majority of folks who are potential subscribers certainly do. Boring = loss of current subs. Boring = not enough new subs. Boring = only apologists left to flounder in a dying game.

Varied content and high challenge are really the only way to go, to keep things fun and people interested. If you just want to win against a random number generator, better off spending your money on the lottery, or slots. At least then you have a chance of getting something of real value.
I totally agree with you on this. The way the game is right now is not for casual players, and I'm sure SE wants a wide variety of customers. A casual player will never be 5 hours repeting the same content every day of the week. The ones that do are hardcore player. Most of the people that are still playing are hardcore players. It's not fun to repeat stuff that have random reward(if you get anything) They way SE is creating content is not for new players. This game is not friendly for non Final fantasy fans. I've invited 5 people to play this game, and they all don't like it. They find it unfriendly, repetitive, boring and cute(that's the only good thing). Besides that, The type of players that FFXIV is inviting are player that endure boredom and believe they need to do that in order to accomplish anything. And this is just a game!!! it's suposed to be fun! Look at Garuda, She is lonelier than ever because she is so hard to beat, nobody want to kill her. Most LSs at present do cc, av, hamlet, ifrit and moogle, and they don't even want to hear the word Garuda. So SE still haven't found the balance between hard and repetitive.
