Come on already, this thread makes no sense. The game has good pacing of hardness already. Stop trying to make FFXIV into FFXI, play ffxi if you want that old school MMOs that punish you and little rewards. You knew what you were getting into when this relaunch happen, its not like Square didn't point out that game would be for us casuals as well. FFXIV Arr is different animal from 1.0 version and FFXI.

Keep pvp abilities separate from regular abilities is what I recommend to Square. We don't want Elitists like OP and pvpers to take control of regular players gameplay. Don't touch our abilities if pvp is broken or mess up when it comes. Put into play different abilities for pvp its that simple.

And no need to make game any harder, just make newer dungeons or when higher lvls come into play than you may increase al little bit at a time. You can't throw away you initial fan-base who bought his game FFXIV ARR at its current form for a reason. Sorry Doowie, Square has FFXI still available, I played it 4 years. Its the game for elite players like you who like very few on top and put others down.
