    I really dislike the "go to Youtube" arguments. That is dismissing the whole point of being a gamer. The point of playing a game is the interaction. Furthermore, in an MMORPG, that interaction is extended to other players and NPCs. Would you want to be invited to a friends house to just watch Metal Gear Solid, Call of Duty, or any other game you enjoy? Hell no, you want to play that game and be a part of the events that unfold.

    I can watch trailers and gameplay of said shooter/rpg/platform games all day and it does nothing for me unless I'm the one behind the controller/keyboard.

    Then shouldn't players also work for the achievement of clearing it and learning the mechanics especially considering it being nerfed up for the purpose of it allowing players less experienced to attempt coil with a upper hand? :/

    I don't think players should be 'locked out' of content but I think there should be a sense of accomplishment instead of nerf'ing it up all the way so there's no risk and everyone can smooth ride through content only to be locked out by current content again anyways.

    Edit: If nothing else than it'd just be better to open up a way to see the cutscenes without clear for characters with requirements to open first coil. Maybe the bard npc who makes illusions/recalls of memories should be given this purpose.

    I understand what you mean.What I wish to know then is, would it truly be immersive if instead of doing an epic fight where you give it your all or die trying, you instead push some randomn buttons, stand in circles only to lose 10% of your hp and have the boss drop dead in no time and be rewarded with an epic cutscene? You get an epic conclusion to a joke of a fight. That would really kill immersion for me.
