We need more casual PvE content.

Take it with a grain of salt, but they did mention that "cost" was a factor that led them not to have a normal version of FTB. Frankly, they should have known that this would undoubtedly alienate many players.

I recall them saying something like that but in such case they should have made only normal FTB, not the other way around. Seeing how they already added completely new savage content in the previous patch. Stuff like that is why casual players kinda feel like an afterthought for the part of the dev team responsible for combat content.
