    If EX is midcore, I don't know what to say. Maybe some of them, maybe they used to be. EXs that require specific timed movement that results in party wipes (not just individual player deaths) if even just one person messes up, is not what I would call midcore content. But a hardcore player, used to savage and doing EX on release, will look at that and go: "yea, its easy, what's the problem?".



    The problem is "Casual" doesn't mean bad. it just means "doesn't play as much".


    You can have casual players who have ultimate clears because they are that skilled. You can have hardcore players that struggle in the story.


    This has always been a problem in XIV for some reason. People use casual for "easy" and not time invested.

    No, I wouldn't necessarily say it's bad either. But I do think there is a distinction between the player and the content and both can be and are different levels.
