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

On the other hand, I'm sure many people like me who simply refused to do Twintania because the weapons it dropped were either equal or straight up inferior to relic +1. Not to mention the amount of BiS pieces from Twin was less than you had party members (I think it was 5 pieces total). So when they buffed it, invigorated our desire to actually fight and win.

So you value a number on your character sheet more than the experience you have. That's fine, but also doesn't explain why somebody else's number matters so much to you. I stand by my previous comment. Comparing numbers on character sheets to determine worth does not sound like fun to me

So what was the reason that SE raised the Allagan weapons to ilvl95? Its pretty simple on this one that they did it to create incentive to beat Coils. Raids as difficult as Coils should always drop the best gear. Idea of upgrading Gerolt gear was nice in a sense that you still had to overcome difficult content to obtain a Sands. I am also okay with obtaining Sands by means outside raids, but the Hunt system was the worst way to do it. Everyone and their mothers are now getting Sands, which have now reduced the value of ilvl110 gear. This shouldn't be a thing till 2.4 at least.

I didn't say this wasn't the reason, I said that it was an assumption. In this case one made by the development team. Where is their source? The fact that people were not running coil has no indication of WHY they weren't running coil. They guessed, plain and simple. They believed the reward to be the reason, so they changed it based on that assumption. I'd love to see how many MORE people began doing coil merely because a new i95 weapon was put in there. Ones that weren't doing coil prior to that, and did so ONLY because of the new weapon. I bet that number is insignificant.

Don't get me wrong, I think they botched the implementation of hunts, but not because people can get upgrades there. I don't care where people get upgrades, chasing numbers is not why I play games.
