The only gameplay engagement you want from FFXIV are now can be only found from High-End Content such as Extreme, Criterion, Savage and Ultimate, I afraid.

Streamlining the jobs means you can now jump right into high-end content with as little time possible needed to practice and perfect your job's rotation.

As for the mid-core content like Dawntrail's field operation, I don't trust CBU3 to get it right given their current track record.
