What is the real harm in nerfing the content? Why is everyone so terrified of nerfing content that has been irrelevant and dead to the game, other than cutscenes, for close to 8 years now?

If half of the people concerned with "nerfing the difficulty into oblivion" actually ran the content semi-regularly we wouldn't even be having the conversation.

Coils drops what could be considered the most expensive raid drops in the entire game.

Twintania drops an item used to craft the Illumination Module, which normally sells anywhere from 3m to 10m depending on datacenter, and the only way to obtain that item, is doing it synced. It just does not drop in unsynced.

That is the reason people still do Coils to this day, because the rewards for it are a hidden little gem that not many people actually pay attention to.

Are you kidding me? So the reason why sprouts don't get to see the story at the right time is because some people would get mad that an 8 year old drop would no longer be rare and they'd end up making less fake money?
Jesus Christ, the people who play this game some times.

Majority of the turns are not hard at all, just a matter of making sure the party understands ONE specific mechanic. The only actual hard fights are like, four of them.

Considering you still need all fights for the full storyline, it doesn't really matter if all of them are super hard and savage-like, don't you think? If people eventually hit the brick wall that is T9, when the more interesting stuff of the story is just about to start, they likely quit and then never get to the important parts. (And stuff like T3 that is basically just a jumping puzzle with some adds for example is certainly entertaining neither casuals nor hardcore players, so no matter how you put it I daresay some kind of fundamental rework might be helpful in general...)

What do you mean people need to do mechanics? I can take a tankbuster As a healer in there because my cutscene finished faster and l just went ahead to pull the boss.
