I'm planning to host one every month up until the release of 2.1

We can talk about this when this game had its first expansion. FFXI first expansion(The NA launch) was massive too! Please don't forget that molten core was nowhere near playable 2 month after launch.

Sure, but WoW was a brand new game. ARR is a re-release. Sure, they changed a lot of things, but the game frame is basically the same. I'm not raging or blaming them for what they've done. It's a significant improvement over 1.0 . You know, if they had released Crystal Tower when it was meant to be released at first, we wouldn't be having this discussion. But they decided to retro-release new content (what I mean by that is releasing a new content tier lower than what is currently being cleared... CT is supposed to give iLvl gear lower than Coils... so what will be the point in doing CT, if you already clear Coils ?)

OMG someone gets it!!!!!

The only way I even see this game lasting the test of time and not failing like most other MMOs other people keep talking about is for SE to say
"Hey guys CT was to hard for launch and we wanted to lower the difficulty and give it to you in 2.1 but it turns out most of the player base is simply to hardcore and has pretty much beaten CoB (turn 5 unbeatable but that's another post) So our new plan is to launch 2.1 in late Dec. with CT being harder than CoB and we rescaled the gear to be better than CoB/Relic gear and that way you guys will have something to keep you busy while we work on 2.2 update hope you enjoy."

That's what I want to see done. Many of you sit here thinking "No CT was already suppose to be released" yes that is true but there is no point in adding it with a lower difficulty and lower gear ilvl80 even if 2.1 comes out in Nov. it will not be enough content to keep the masses occupied until 2.2 which would probably be 3-6 months after
2.1.

I just don't see anything in 2.1 update keeping anyone happy for more than a month and that's pushing it.

Personally I see CT as a possibility to equip your other jobs. Is this ideal? No but hey better than nothing.

This is all CT will end up being a way for us to gear up other jobs. Wont be the best gear you can obtain but you will have to roll against other people which will make CT tons of fun (6 whms pop up for CT 1 whm piece drop hell goes for any job I can just imagine how this is going to turn out.)
