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

Side note: I wonder how many of the raiders that are complaining about casuals getting i110 completed their raids without a guide.

Much more people than the casuals who still can't complete them with one.

Pretty sure people still raided all the time before 2.2 when myth gear was the same ilvl as coil 1. Now suddenly nobody is going to raid? Top level gear is attained the same way as it was then. Does every patch need to have this much over-reaction?

Focus is pretty tough. It's hard to do it for an extended amount of time (more than 2 hours) but when you go in fresh and the fight is pretty much already done for you (because YouTube), it just ends up being execution.　Not to say execution is something that is really easy, but once you've got it...you've got it.

Hate when people rely on video guides. If you want a rundown of the fight get a short paragraph from a friend and go in and actually learn something.

Hrm? A large number of raid groups were formed at/post 2.2 that didn't exist until then. Guild I was in at the time went from 1 to 5 raid groups because people finally had a reason to raid.

Obviously...

Doesn't devalue the query, though thanks for playing.

Unless you've played in the endgame scene to a decent level, your input on the matter is pure conjecture.

Its not about the gear score. Its about the coolness factor of having a unique looking armor set that lets you stand out in the crowd. The numbers portion of it is just an artificial gating tactic to slow down player progression and a carry over from when stat choices were based on tactical considerations, which are mostly missing from FFXIV: ARR at the moment.
