Unwanted coil t7 loot

it's true, as a monk it bothers me, that every player, even the baddest of the bad, getting BiS since you only need earings, ring and head for second coil t6... and t6 is even easier than t5. CT2 going step by step dropping UAT---->oil----->sand will just be useless. after that long weeks you can put the sand up your arse...and t10 is long long long long long away. it feels like a 14 year old thrown back in kindergarten. sad to say, but FFxiv is lowering difficulty with every patch, i love the game, but that suck to me. instead of challenging dungeons they lower difficulty on existing once (pharos sirius etc.). there sooo many mmo's out there, why not adapting some mechanics? bronze, silver, gold for instance runs, etc. In my oppinion there should always be some loot just outside your grasp, to motivate you do better, FFxiv is putting everyone at same ilvl, ignoring how well you play.

Well, loot is definitely something satisfying, but if you are talking about being elite, how about trying gunning for server first and world firsts/top 10?

Coil 2 Brutal Mode is coming in 2.3. Will your team be the server first/world first to beat them?

Loot is just loot, it gets outdated as time pass. You may be one of the first few to get the HA weapon and feels special parading with it at Mor Dhona but that special feeling will fade when more people clears coil and gets the weapon and gears, like T9 tank chests which is getting more and more common on my server.

If you want something really special, aim to defeat BG. You have a chance to do it next week when 2.3 comes. Be the first to beat Brutal Coil and Yoshida will sing praise of your team and recognize that to be a member of your FC is a prestige/social status (no pun intended to BG, they earned that attention from Yoshida).

Loot will get replaced and fade over time. World records and fame and the prestige being one the top of the top will not.

If they drop :S Only seen MNK belt from t6, ring from t7 >.< Too much caster lewt!
Also if you don't do second coil even clearing t9 you will never have BiS. Which is, iff you feel the need to, have what non coilers wont have.

Positive many forget is that if you lose a member of your static, 2.3 will make it easier to get a new member geared to whichever turn you are on. Also, for example, you are stuck on t8 DPS check your party can gear up a bit more outside of coil to help breaking that.
