Is anyone else bothered by the lack of incentive for mediocre players to improve?

I really see OP's point with coil being unlocked. I die a little inside when were 7/8 fc members, we fill that spot and while asking said pickup how he's comfortable passing rot he says "what's rot".... ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?? This dudes in a lot of i90 gear from 1and two, and knows nothing of the mechanics in the fight.

Another time we have a pickup and were talking in chat about 2nd coil and this guy says " I'll just wait till it gets spammable and has echo buff". Oh good!! I can't wait to run with a total retard in the future who Doesn't know jack about the fight.... Hopefully we will get all the drops we wanted on all the jobs we like and don't have to go back but... Probably not -.-

Why would you expect someone to know a method that hasn't been the standard for months now? Especially one that is incredibly pug unfriendly and is daunting without a voice chat and/or knowing everyone beforehand?

Why are you mad that someone gets enjoyment out of the game that isn't being on the cutting edge of content, and waiting for it to be easier? Why are you acting like Echo means you don't need to know shit, when no amount of Echo is gonna save you from make or break mechanics like Twsiters? Why are you getting so worked up about it in the first place?

Why do you feel the need to use incredibly hurtful language? Why do you care about any of this to begin with? Chill out dude. The content will always be there for you to to gather groups of other like minded tryhards to do in the most ridiculous fashions possible so you can have your internet measuring contests to your hearts content. How fun!

Lol ok, should have known wanting people to know how to play so they don't waste MY time was going to make me a "try hard" or meant that I wanted to " have Internet measuring contests". How dare I not be ok with wasting my lacking time having a job and family and all.

Why don't you instead of re-voicing the call of the casuals stfu and get better, ccuz clearly someone has been chewed out for sucking and has a complex about it now.

Wow you come across like a real ahole you stay classy.

My favorite part of the binding Coil of Bahamut is doing the outdated content using legacy strats to win outdated gear slower than if I had just done proper farm runs. This will certainly get my bleeding edge raider guild geared up and ready for 2nd Coil, and is an intelligent stance to take on progression.

It's a video game. It's a waste of time by definition. If you're so worried about doing things as efficiently as possible make some like-minded friends and only run with them. Please.

First if you note, they ASKED the person, and technically, passing rot is the "standard" way. Abusing enrage is just that, abusing enrage. Before someone flies into a fit, I said abuses, not exploits. Until SE says it was intended or not, I will believe they did not intend for people to win that way. And before people fly into another fit, they only said they weren't going to change it, they never said it was intended or not.

No it's not. If you feel a video game is a waste of time, I don't even know why you'd play. My time is valuable, and I value my personal entertainment time the most. So, no, for many of us, it's not a waste of time, just by virtue of being a video game.

And before people fly into another fit, they only said they weren't going to change it, they never said it was intended or not.

well, technically they created it that way, so it was intended, at least to be able to end it for groups who would be late on timer (just like T4). Though as you say they never stated if doing full boss during enrage was intended or not. I won't try to do T4's P6 fully during enrage just to know if it's possible and if it's intended to be able to win that way though..

Technically again, it IS a waste of time, just like watching TV, reading books, etc....
But then, entertainment is something we choose, so we can't really say we're losing time in games. Rather we choose to spend it there instead of doing something else. That said, if you don't like playing (whatever the reason, could be for just an hour because xxx player made you mad), then you are clearly wasting your time.

I didn't think Necromancer was a class in FF14.

Step 1: Get over it.
Step 2: See Step 1.
Step 3: Start having fun again.

Seriously.
