Feelings about the nerf aside, The Echo used to be an amazing plot device that created such an intricate, interlaced storyline that one of the main focusses of these forums was to discuss exactly what it did and how it affected us. The lore behind it was awesome; time-travelling without realising and having a tangible effect on the past when we weren't supposed to be able to was the very tip of the iceberg that hinted at a much deeper and darker origin that was slowly being revealed up until the moment Dalamud opened.

Now it's been written off as a flashback tool and a buff-if-you-fail algorithm. I wish it had been called something else. It's merely an echo of The Echo, nothing more.
