Killing dynamis and assaults is one thing, but unless you mean old Nyzul, neo-Nyzul farming won't really be affected. And casuals don't really need hardcores for Nyzul now. And Abyssea +2 farming? How will that die by pissing off those people? People don't need substantial help to the extent they just want mobs for +2 trinkets.
The new content is actually relatively /shout group friendly, barring the hardest mobs in the Fractures. That's about it. All a casual needs is to leech a few KIs, and even then there are at least two mob options for each KI.

But what you're missing is that, right now, NNI farming is normal because the gear is still relevant. But since SE has already blown weapons out of the water, why not armor too? This ramp-up will not end well. Look at their attitude. It's "Well suck it up and gear up, the gear is there" regardless of realizing that the grind might become impossibly long at some point.
The shouts are good... for now. Because the content is new. When Abyssea was new, tons of shouts were out there for Atma runs too. Now where are those? The same will happen. Normally, that's not too much of an issue with some of the higher end content simply because endgame will always be endgame. But, here's the problem: This is update #1. This isn't endgame unless this expansion will be terribly short.
Update #1.
Where will we be in 2 years if this is the new speed of progression?

Since Seriha posted while I wrote this:
I am not talking about how RME help the economy. I'm talking the precedent it sets. Invalidating armor that can be done in a couple weeks is one thing. Invalidating all the work needed for RME is a huge deal. Time is the one thing you cannot get more of. You have spent your time, you cannot get it back. If they do not properly honour the time invested in those weapons, who's to say that next week, they don't release NPC purchasable weapons that greatly outstrip the current OMG weapons you get for all that hardwork of killing these new megabosses?
THAT is my point. Get it straight already.
