Who is gonna raid now with the iLvl 110 gear handed to people??

What is the future of SCoB since you can gear up faster and easier with hunts Allied Seal. All I can see is less people raiding end-game, thus less experienced people. As a raider and as a person who puts a lot effort into it, I hope that a lot of cool content be locked behind SCoB so people will try raiding instead of just standing there with iLvl 110 "hunt" gear. Raiding community is so cool but I see less and less people doing it as time goes by.

Weapons. Weapons everywhere.

Also, you'll be missing out on some major storyline. Sure, you can watch it from someone else's perspective, but what fun is that?

Plus, the battles are lots of fun. They're really a good test of playability with your job. Fun stuffs.

Actually, the OP is right, it will cause people to start doing coil less, just like Myth gear did to First Coil.

It's exactly the same IMO

The ones that still do it for fun?
It's true lots of player go with the path of least ressistance....but everyone that has fun doing it will still do it.

Hell I still do CT because I have fun doing it, even if I don't need anything from there other than maybe desynths and the myth/sold you get after a clear.

As much as I care about raiding too, I think this game is set on shooting itself in the foot when it comes to developing a great end game for high end gamers. I am sure I am not the only one to notice that less and less people are doing dungeon guides and streams of FF14.

The game will be fine, sure; however, you can see that the high end players who make content, such as youtube videos about dungeons, are starting to flee. Who can blame them really. This game offers little to the high end raider.

I totally see this game only having CT and ST styled raids two years out where the best gear in the game comes from a 30 min mindless dungeon styled raid.

Let me ask you this, back then when the best gear is i90 (both myth and allagan) .... did that stop people from raiding?

[JTribal]

Honestly, most of the people farming Allied Seals for Sands and Oils are doing it to gear up for SCoB.

My view on it is that if it doesn't impact you or your static then why stress over it.

[Gilraen]

Honestly, I still need to run the first coil for some gear because, believe it or not, nothing's invalidated it yet! Especially for White Mage! "Oh, but you need Mind more than you need any other stat in the world." So I'm told...
