That meant they had to solo with Trusts to have the fight not be over ridiculously quickly, or they had to let someone else beat the mission for them The complaint was that the new players were getting bored watching other people play for them, when it wasn't any fun to team up with someone in the LS (because they were overpowered) , or solo everything before endgame, and thus be bored not playing with friends in an MMO. Yes, removal of the CoP level caps made it easier to complete for people that wanted it, but some people still want the challenge and comaraderie of having to deal with those level caps when they have a group available.
Sorry to say this but this game is old. New players will never get that original experience. The challenge is gone sorry to say that just let the game be. Sure they could give it as an option but why bother making someone few people want or need they are probably not a lot of new players in this game anyway. The challenge is just 99 level content. They should spend more time on more meaning full content or updates that keep the current older players happy as that is what majority of the players are anyway. IF it sounds like im saying let the game die then yes i am unless square-enix is going to market this game for new players its time to except its old its dead and be glad for all the fun and memories you have. If they would update the game rerelease it for modern system and promote it for new player then I would be more then happy for an option like this for new players.
