LOL@ Yoshi P's response to why Coil raiders should do Crystal Tower

[Hyrist]

Wait, what?

Sorry but the tone of the community does not fit with the complaints you are making.

There have been numerous, nauseating amounts even, of threads complaining about there not being enough to do at endgame.

And just because the new content is not at the absolute apex of endgame it's suddenly irrelevant?

Ok, let's conveniently forget for a moment that we were told, since the beginning, that Crystal Tower came BEFORE Coil of Bahamut in terms of progression. And that the reason why it was pulled from the beginning was a major difficulty overhaul because it wasn't supposed to be on par with Coil - which is a manual raid content, where CT was supposed to still be Duty Finder content.

Let's also forget that the vast majority of the populace is not, in fact, super-hardcore and have reach Coil, or even if they have completed the game are in a gear position to coil.

Not to mention the numerous complaints about Mythology caps and the inability to gear other classes progressively...

I'm still left with the glaring question of why any battle content released after launch must absolutely be directed solely at the highest echelon of endgame content is suddenly obsolete and not worth creating or visiting.

Progression-obsession, really is a thing these days... and it's kinda disturbing.

As I said before, people will gobble up whatever SE tosses at them, which is fine - But if this was any other MMO, you know full well people wouldn't accept the company going backwards.

We knew CT and whatnot was delayed, but because it was delayed they could have actually repurposed it like they did Cutter's Cry, Darkhold and Aurum.

It's almost as if... the content wasn't designed for people who clear Coil. That can't be, after all we know that it makes the most sense to only make content that revolves around the smallest possible subsection of your subscription-base.

It was designed to be done before coil, thus delaying it and releasing it as new content is why not everyone is eating it up.

What is...

I'm sorry, but you guys are off the deep end. SEVERELY off the deep end. You make Witchdrop look like a sidewalk crack.

This isn't going backwards, this is literally gap filling. Even then, it's broadening an aspect of endgame that has been widely criticized as too linear.

There were zero indications of this to be anything but what it was advertised to be at the beginning, and you're up in arms about it. This is nothing short of utter insanity, and those upset at this need to unplug from the game for their own health - because the self centeredness of it is absolutely mind blowing.

I laughed too. Absolutely hilarious. For vanity he says...cmon...what a joke. At least have items that we can turn into crafted items in there to make it somewhat viable.

Well said, and spot on.
I was just thinking as I read this, "The majority of the player base hasn't cleared coil." and you said it for me.

Then I got to thinking about the sheer amount of time it will take me to fully gear all my 50s (All of them) and how nice it'll be to have an option that, while not the highest, will make all my 50s capable of running most content. Again you said it for me.

I also thought, hmm how nice will it be to run something that isn't WP or AK for tomes. I know I know the most efficient way to go is WP, but seriously how many folk complain there's nothing to do after they cap myth in 2.5 hours on Monday? Take the slower path to cap and "experience" something other than a WP speed run, I personally am looking forward to this just for the change of scenery.

I also got to thinking about How nice it'll be to have a new story even if it only takes a day or 3 to run through, at least it'll be fresh. I haven't really had anything new story-wise, except the Lightning event, since 2 weeks after release, curse being a legacy lol.
