Best Gear in Coil needs to end

Yes, do this. Practice with folks on your server, invite them to come back at another agreed upon time to continue. Boom, you made a static. Not so bad.

Enjoy getting fat I guess? I think this will change in 2.3 but it doesn't fix the fact that it's pretty awful design right at the moment.

About the pink gear, that's a very good point, for example why don't we have another couple of tiers of Treasure chests? Let's say they're set as one and 2 star gathering items, and provide a decent challenge to lvl 50 groups (i.e. much harder than current chests). Realistically they'd need to drop i80+ for anyone to care about them, but it would:
- Provide open world, sociable content
- Provide an alternative to Solidery grind

Several tiers of gear could be in the drop tables, and for each tier they'd be progressively rarer.

Yup, for those people who were already done with T5 and ready for the next, it's Raid heaven for them. Hopefully the next CT adds some things that make it worthwhile to going into. Separate level 100 gear with a weekly lockout? I'd be fine with that, if there were level 100 weapons(and just 100s so Weathered Gear would still be second on the tier with High Allagan first), it would be some nice content to do on the side if the drops were organized well.

Yeah, it all depends on their schedule and what they feel like doing though. If they have the time and the resources, they could do something like that that can be done whenever, and with whoever so long as you meet the map and gear requirements. It's something to do outside of Raids and it can still be beneficial to people. Would be nice to see.

Unfortunately a lot of ignorant people think doing coil isn't special and they only fail cuz they "have a life". Maybe people like that should find a new hobby if they're not really dedicated enough to learn how to play the game properly. It gets really old hearing people say "well you just don't have a life" and "that's nothing special" when we all put so much effort into downing the content. Is that really an attitude to have? You do that when you play other games? Someone get's a hole-in-one do you say "well that doesn't really matter in real life"? How sickening.

You're forgetting that people totally ignore Coil2 because they can't be bothered dealing with:
- Finding a decent static
- Dealing with people who think they're special/"the best"

Of course I'm happy for other people to accomplish things in game, you seem to be putting a lot of words in my mouth there. I was just trying to outline the fact that it doesn't make you anymore special than the guy who cleared Titan HM for the first time 2 days ago, or the guy who cleared the main story line for the first time yesterday. Again, the only "special" thing is having a decent group which has the time to get together regularly.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that I'm arguing for coil to not have the best gear, because I'm not.

Makes sense. The people who play mini golf are just as special as professional players. Pretty good logic you have there. Titan HM is just as hard as coil.

Yes they lack the skill and are not "special", clearly...

Sure does! lol Funny how you couldn't beat turn 5 until they added the echo buff. I mean if you had a group that could do it why didn't you do it before the buff? It's ok, you'll get turn 9 in 5 months too when they add the buff to that turn as well. Lot of people like you in Mor Dhona who to to downplay our accomplishments cuz they're jealous. I know your type.

Well if you can't even copy a video then you're still good? Yeah, sounds like lack of skill to me. Well my group comes up with our own strats when we don't have a video or think of a better one. Like we just run around in a circle on golem phase for turn 9 cuz it's so mindless. I don't know why peopel liek you act they way you do. Why can't you just accept that some people take the game very seriously and are really good at it? People respect other games. Why is it just video games that people have such contempt for?
