    I think it would be better if coil dropped *some* of the best stuff, but not all of it.

    Say i110 main gear (head, chest, gloves, legs, feet) only dropped in coil. And only t9 dropped the i115 weapon.

    But the rest of the i110 gear should be somewhere else in the world (sld tokens, primal fights, long quests or whatever).

    Right now you've got ALL of the i110 stuff (right & left sides of the inventory) and all of the i110 upgrade tokens for SLD gear (including weapon) and the i115 weapons are ONLY available on the 4 bosses in coil2. Content that both favors playing with a static and is behind a weekly lockout. Basically it's too much crammed onto too few bosses. So it's not only bad for the raiders (too much loot crammed into too few loot tables makes it extremely RNG dependent to get your gear), but it's also bad for the players who can't play at specific set times (for a static) since all of the i110+ pieces are not in content that is available to them.

    Great post Giantbane. I definitely agree. I wanted to voice my support as well for...

    More Variety of Challenging Content, and not just have it all crammed behind 1 Dungeon with a Weekly Lockout.

    It's always good to have variety, and as Gormogon said, alternatives for players of all types and schedules, rather than have everything tied to 1 weekly locked out dungeon.

    Yeah I bet you and Giantbane would like that gear handed to you. Too bad. And why do people keep saying statics have to have set times? Do people really run their statics so poorly? We just raid when all of our members are free and that's never stopped us from getting server first. Just join a group with times that work for you.
