And I gonna maintain my opinion the reasons the 2.0 early trial were perceived as difficulty were because how fresh the player base then. The two who only had play the game back then is not the same thing as the two who have been playing the game for a whole 10 years. Maybe the new trials are indeed easier, but to nowhere the decree people are making them out to be.

Also I find it a bit unfair people keep complaining about the older type of content getting easier, yet fail to credit the fact savage has been consistently getting harder. Also 2.0 and 3.0 didn't have Ultimate, which is a content especially created to cater to people who want more challenge. So claiming the game only cater to casual at the very least - bad faith.

FF14 is said to be a theme park game, so it tries to give a piece of the cake to everyone. I think you guys just not happy with your own share and want the majority of the cake, and Yoshi just says "no".

“Walk into a game”. I’ll tell you, this is not the same game I walked into. It panders to the super casual Limsa afkers just in case they decide to do something
Serious question, do you guys have a better example then the Limsa AFkers? It does make me wonder if you had played other MMO and how long you did. Plenty of people hanging around the place is to show off their ultimate weapon which you know ... kinda need to play to get those. Back in my WoW day, I was in a raiding guild that was part of the US top 10. Do you know where most of us are whenever we're not in raid? Stormwind or Origammar. Even if you play an Asian MMO in which you would want to turn it into a job of souless grinding, the main cities will always busting of people standing around and chatting.

People hanging around social gathering spot has always been a thing in all MMO for as old as the gerne itself, with no exception regarding people background or skill level. Keep using it as your beating stick just show how shallow the argument is.
