You're looking to much at one side of the coin and not looking at the other.

As I mentioned in another post, I'm fine with wiping on current content at the level cap. It makes sense in concept and practice. I also like to run people through content if they want to be run through content. People already struggle to get the minimum 4 person requirement for lv35 Ifrit not because people go "oh, I'm lv50 so I'm just too much for that boss". It's because people don't or can't take the time to do so. It's a stepping stone to a bigger story.

What this does is try to turn the stepping stone into the goal of the f-ing quest, which is not how it works. The small time stuff is small time for a reason. And if you eventually leveled past it, you do the content to see it and move on, because there's other things to do as you work towards the level cap.

Again, I'm up for wiping on hard mode Garuda or Nael. I'm NOT up for wiping in Shposhae or Totorak.

I prefer to help people if the help is needed, I don't want to go just to be a filler, I will help with capped content if it's capped because the help is needed, whereas right now I would just be going as a filler which is pointless.

QFT. I think how they have it now works really well. The story-line fights/missions/quests are uncapped and can therefore be completed easily if one levels past the recommended level (ideally wouldn't even have a party size requirement), but the Hard modes have strict requirements on party size and/or levels. This allows for story-line progression for everyone at their own pace, but sets aside more challenging fights/better rewards for those who are always looking for a challenge.
