Reality is, most of the entire player base doesn't not do Extreme or Savages. This entire thread is full of WoW try-hards who are the same people that go on the wow forums saying Mythic Raids are too easy we cleared it in a week. MAKE IT HARDER!!1!!one!! when the entire game isn't even done with Normal mode.
Hope you realize some people actually quit FF14 because they think the MSQ is so boring and unchallenging that the rest of the game is similarly braindead.

FF14's MSQ can only hook people who care about the story. Most other types of gamers are repelled.
