Will 2.1 offer any lasting content to players who are on or cleared turn 5?

Only people without a social life are gonna run out of content

I wasn't aware that working with 7 other people (who are likely friends) to do raids and such didn't count as being social. Who knew?

If you guys find yourselves short on challenging, dynamic content, you could always give PvP a try, which is coming in 2.1.

Don't worry, I think 2.1 comes with a 50% off coupon for packs of tube socks.

If hardcore players are bored, they could try and prove how hardcore they really are and go old school ..... Beat the game with a full party of WHMs only. That's a world first I might actually remember! XD

I think patch 2.1 is less about far reaching endgame and more about bringing lower/mid levels and PS3 players up to speed and on an equal footing, and broadening entry level endgame with dungeons and primals (2 hard dungeons, 1 new, extreme primals, Mog and possibly 1 more primal<?>). SE is probably more concerned to deal with adverse community behaviours at the moment which is really turning off casual players (no one running dungeons or disbanding from dungeons or elitism in party recruiting). That said, I think people underestimate how much time PvP and Housing will eat up.

You don't need to be hardcore to be on turn 5 in coil. Getting to 50, if you took your time takes like 3 weeks - 1 month. If you did ~1.5 runs a day (7-8 hrs of playing a week) it would take a month tops for full DL and relic +1. In 1 month of coil, it's pretty easy to down turn 4, took my group 2 weeks. We raid for 2-3 hours 2-3 times a week and i only need book and gloves from coil, so, i can safely say i'm not 'hardcore' I just had a solid group of people. Unfortunately, crystal tower feels like a step back for me at this point. I'll probably end up doing it as a summoner, rather than my sch main.

As someone who is on turn 8 of Coil, I don't think these "Extreme" Primals will be much of a problem. I will literally solo all of them with my special Paladin build that allows me to DPS, get 7k out of my cure, and cycle my defensive cooldowns to take 1 damage from each hit. Crystal Tower will be so easy that I will do each run with my butt on the keyboard. Progression ftw. :]

I chuckled.
Tell me when you reach turn 10. Then we can talk EZ mode.

Wanna know whats hard? Turn 20 when you face Bahamut for the second time. Unlike turn 15 where you had to face off in a hopscotch match you now have to face him in Jeopardy.

Will 2.1 offer any lasting raid content to players who are on or cleared turn 5? If CT is tuned as a stepping stone to coil, it would not be really good farmable raid content in contrast to coil.

Not everyone play only 1 class.
CT would be a good way to get gear for all the other classes without farming Myths or Coil (ilevel 80 gear is good enough until there is a content where ilevel 90 gear is a necessity).
