Don't do chaotic raid again

[Kaurhz]

I do find the casuals vs. hardcore player debate interesting because the hardcore player base hates that us "filthy casuals" are even in the game, when XIV's success was built on the casual player base. If we all quit and leave because they start to only cater to the 1% of the player base that likes this content - good luck. The chaos raid is just not accessible. It's already difficult to get groups together, PF is already gatekeeping hard on who can join and if you go into Raid Finder you could wait 8+ hours and never get included in a party. Then locking the cosmetics behind it, at the end of the day, this raid (which let's get real, is a 24 man TRIAL) will be dead within a week or so.

I honestly actually find this quite inaccurate, most of the hate from hardcore just stems from people that don't bother -- and by don't bother I mean make no effort whatsoever, e.g., not using half of your toolkit, or just outright auto attacking.

A lot of the hate for casuals generally comes from a minority of people with an ego complex, regardless of whether they are hardcore or not, and are more often than not just looking for people or a group to target. Most hardcore players I've met, either through FCs, social activity or crafting on patch days have been quite encouraging, to be honest.
