So have I, but I doubt it hardly has anything to due with the changes your suggesting.
We agree on something atleast, I dislike how dumbed down & casualized the game has gotten, but over the years I have learned to except that as this is what the MMO genre is becoming even if it sucks.
No removing LFR & Mythic would hurt the game, you don't understand what problems it would cause. Regardless of my huge dislike of LFR, they're players who enjoy it & removing it those players would basically have no reason for them to play & same goes with Mythic. I rather WoW not become more of a single player game other than allowing casual to do LFR. But less single player experiences that you can in do FF14 or more guild / group based content is what I want. We have to many queues system I don't want more.
The one thing I wish came back is the need for a guild & wanting to get better so you can do the content. Sadly that isn't FF14, that is why I don't raid in it, but I still enjoy the story & primal fights
