I myself want more open world content and a game that isnt on baby mode. Currently this game is easy mode and it seems as though Yoshi will make it baby mode come 2.0. I find quest leveling and story level just plain boring. I myself want to be able to grind where, when and how I WANT.

I also look at the other players around me and I understand that not everyone has time to do everything, but to make this game even easier isnt the answer. This is a sad day if and when SE re-releases FFXIV with nothing but instances and quest leveling. I will say it and some may not like it but open world content needs to be like it was in FFXI. FFXI has a huge world with a lot of stuff to do. In FFXIV yes we have open world but nothing of great importance. If SE takes this game to just quests and story based leveling there will be a great number of players who will leave and never return.

The issue at hand is SE and the DEV's can not seem to strike a balance between hardcore, mid players and casuals, and look at what we have know and look at what the interviews that have been done. FFXIV is way off base as long as they continue at thier current rate. SE and the DEV's need to strike a balance for all the player base, from hardcore to casuals etc. In the end there is a great possiblity that FFXIV 2.0 will fail if they can not strike a balance between hardcore mid players and casuals.
