I think it would be nice if more difficult content is added for those who want it for sure. I doubt I would play any harder raids or dungeons then I do now, but gameplay group challenge is not really why I am here. I do not think a increase normal difficulty would be wise though. I remember when WoW did that with Cata and it did not end well. Plus, difficulty is subjective. No matter how hard you made said content, there will be some who find it too ‘easy’ in the same way that not everyone thinks that content as it is now is a walk in the park. That said I would like to actually see more solo-hard challenges added, say a New Game+ Hard Mode which rewards you with cosmetic stuff. That I would enjoy!

A straight out increase in difficult doesn't necessarily solve the outlined problems and in terms of the wider scope of the game, I would argue it just creates more problems.

A suggestion that players defend whatever they get because they disagree with your outlined criticism is beyond a reductive method of thinking.
Well said. Its a mistake I feel to paint the community in one way just because some people disagree with a subject or two. Outside of the trolls most people here are more complex in opinion then that. Just because you may still enjoy the game inspite of whatever flaws you hold, does not mean you are a mindless ‘simp’ for either FFXIV or Square.
