Wow, so I still have an active subscription until next Friday after canceling it yesterday and I didn't expect so many replies to my post. I see a lot of mean-spirited comments towards each other in the post I made and it's unfortunate because I thought the ffxiv community prided itself on being one of the friendliest and welcoming to one another however I also understand what a keyboard warrior is. My post isn't to encourage others to quit but give feedback to the development team that not only myself, but many veterans are saying as well as my friends who also left. I truly do not have any intention to come back to Dawntrail come 7.0 because the development team has not shown me a reason to with the fan fest's I have seen.

Again, my biggest complaint was that the casual content or midcore content got WAY to easy and didn't require any mental agility that the previous expansions did. The last two alliance raids that were released had fights not even threatening compared to previous expansion's (on launch). Healers and tanks are not pressured in content to preform and the encounter design has not utilized " adds" or additional enemies for damage checks, positioning, debufs as previous dungeons, trials and raids have. The encounter design is getting really lazy outside of savage and even in savage , fights are becoming body checks now.

If i am only savage raiding 4-5 hours a week and doing casual content 10+ hours a week I believe the majority of my experience will be negative with the lack of social content, rewards and engaging roulettes.

Expert roulette should feel like an expert dungeon meaning you should have a minor level of high play to do it. This is a final fantasy game There should be some level of threat imposed on a player thats short of an extreme trial. I dont know any other final fantasy game 1-16 that babies its player base to the extent 14 does.

I am not saying we need to go back to heavensward for job design but if you all dont see the encounter design getting too basic and lazy I am assuming you have not experienced previous expansions on or near min i level sync during release.

I truly wish you all the best and hope you have fun !
