FFXIVARR Lower stats for token items

[sharazisspecial]

Arent new players already finding it difficulty to join groups. Because people are running their dungeon groups in their small cliques and linkshells(terrible community seriously) . They wont invite new players to their groups. In ffxi it took too long to find groups as well.

Isnt ifrit and moogle outdated compared to garuda and darklight. Also materia melding makes lower tier dungeon drops obsolete . Also there is the fact that newer/casuals player cant afford triple melded gears.

The question should be
Is Yoshida and the higher ups satisfied with having a very grindy model but smaller hardcore/diehard ff fan niche group of suscribers
versus
Having much larger amount of suscribers but having a model that is less grindy by pumping out those content updates but with some negatives such as outdating content with weaker gear.

Because very low drop rates will push out alot of potential players. Especially ones who didnt like ffxi's model.
