All I see is content nerfs.

LOL, turn 1/4 are catering to the hardcore? I mean c'mon, not even garuda or ifrit extreme really are hard... especially as ranged dps.

This is what's wrong with MMO players. You don't even view people who are "lesser" than you as human and worth consideration.

There are lots and lots of people who aren't good enough skillwise to clear Coil. There are lots of people who can't clear Titan HM. These people exist. Calling them bad names and making fun of them will not help anything, because if they leave, Square-Enix loses money and then the difficult content you enjoy will be reduced in the future.

You say gear is irrelevant. The only reason to do extreme mode primals is for gear. (and the black unicorn)

The boss, stage, etc. look exactly like the hard/normal versions of the primals. Why does it matter that extreme mode primals are "too hard for most people"?

I didn't say anything about extreme primals. I was talking about Coil. Besides, none of the EX primals are being nerfed, so what's the problem? EX primals are fine (with the exception of Titan EX being nigh-impossible for those with bad internet connections). I never said they should be nerfed.

Hard Mode primals, Thornmarch and Ultima HM exist as standalone bosses for the mid-tier folks, and again SE is using the Apple strategy. Now that Titan EX is out, Titan HM drops i80 weapons and is a really good goal for mid-tier players to go after, and now the relic quest is a mid-tier thing rather than a high-tier thing, simply because the average gear level has gone up and now people can clear the HMs more easily.
