Booing when Coil2 Nerf was announced

[VahnValbosce]

I'll take that bet.

Ok take that bet then. I'm done with this topic. Nobody is changing anyones mind, it will never happen.

You can all continue to thumbs-up eachothers posts to make eachother feel special and then get your content nerfed.

Then once all the content is extremely easy and takes 30 minutes to clear, you'll sit around wondering why half the playerbase has quit and the entire game has gone Free 2 Play. Who will be to blame then? OH WAIT, It must of been those nasty hardcore elitist players that ruin every single game!!!

LOL... utter non-sense.

LOL... utter non-sense.

I'm wondering if you are aware of the Stawman and Slipper Slope argumentative fallacies, because you're using them. And the fact that you're generalizing individuals that disagree with you? That really does solidify the fact that you're not listening to the counter-arguments, nor are you thinking beyond yourself.

My Raiding group may be rocked to the core with the changes of Third Coil, if Third Coil enables us to aid our other FC mates. We flat out waited Second Coil down because we wanted to progress as a FC and Coil Lockouts prevented that. If that's no longer the case, we're going to want to push, HARD through SCOB and into FCOB. Echo to us is a non-matter. We get through content when we get through content.

That said, for those who don't want to be caught a year or more behind due to content gating? This is pretty big deal. I'm in staunch support of SE taking the intelligent route and having a preserved Coil, and an adjusted Coil. So that groups can play to their preferences.

It's unintelligent design to have one difficulty setting in games these days.

Challenging Content Brings people TOGETHER more than it tears people apart. That is the point of an MMO, to work together WITH people to overcome a challenge.

Strawman argument, it bleeds out players so that only the niche people who can meet the specific criteria remain, and those who think alike, naturally come together. It's called homogenizing your player base. It does not bring people together, it pushes people away and those who are left come together.

It can be something simple as having a work schedule conflict that can cause a punishingly difficult game to be impossible for a player. Basing your ideals of bringing people together on one set standard, means you are ostracizing the rest. It's simple anthropology.

I'm wondering if you are aware of the Stawman and Slipper Slope argumentative fallacies.

They are NOT strawman arguments. THEY are factual arguements based on the TACTICS of other MMO companies. FFXIV is an MMO.

I spent 1 month and 2 weeks with a CASUAL STATIC to cear Turn 6, 7 and 8. We spent 4 hours PER WEEK, it took us 6 weeks TOTAL. That is a total of 24 TOTAL HOURS of progression to LEARN and CLEAR Turn 6, 7 and 8.

1 month and 2 weeks consists of roughly 45 days, 45 days = 1080 hours. 6 weeks of progression at 4 hours PER WEEK consists of 24 hours. 24 hours out of 1080 HOURS??? We were a CASUAL group, CASUAL players HAVING FUN and JOKING AROUND with eachother.

If you cannot clear coil within that time allotment, then 2 things:
#1. You shouldn't be subscribing to a Pay 2 Play MMO, because you obviously need more time to learn and progress in a fight, but you simply do not have the time, due to your "busy real life schedule" or whatever else it is that takes up your precious time.
#2. You are the person holding people back, and you should just accept that fact and work on your progression and get better at the game.

If you think I'm being a jerk about these comments, then what can I tell you? YOU are the jerk for wanting to ruin other peoples challenging and fun experiences by having things nerfed.

SE certainly does NOT agree with your assessment of the situation. Thank goodness they have more business sense than you.

If you are too impatient to play with other people NOT at your skill level, you do NOT have to, you can stick with your static or you can quit subscribing in exchange. Because SE will take 99 of us scrubs than 1 of you any day of the week. 99x$14.99 >> 1x$14.99.

SE would like you along too provided you help teach the 99 others and not be mean and nasty too them. BTW people can't get better at stuff, if they can't get access to them.

YOU ARE THE ONE ASSUMING THAT 99% OF THE PLAYERBASE IS SCRUBS.

NOT ME.

So do NOT put words in my mouth.

%@#!'ing done with this thread.

Snip

Please stop. The most you're contributing is giving a bad impression not to only yourself, but to people who run end-game content as well. Different people have different priorities. Some people prefer to craft, and some may like to run dungeons, but in the end, nobody should force something onto other people. I myself have not cleared the latest coil within the time allotted (Still working on T9, mind you). Your posts are quite hostile, but they are without merit because other people are doing the same. The hostility between people who agree and disagree does not make a good discussion. So I suggest you calmly retreat before this gets even more out of hand.

I'm expecting world first from you next patch...don't fail... or you may have to take yourself up on your own options.

HAHAHA..... LOL.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA........... AHHHHAHAHAHA.....

Guys stop it, you're killing me! Hahahahaha... Ahahahaha...

Man do you even try ? Even though poorly worded, their point was that SE will listen to the majority. Majority wants nerf, the devs will enrf. Period.

You are being beyond rudeness here...
#1 none of your business, people spend their money however they want.

#2 stop assuming, you're bad at it. You know nothing (John Snow) thus shouldn't speculate anything about anyone you don't know at all

if you already cleared things, there is no point for you to claim that people wanting nerfs "ruin" your challenge. The content isn't challenging at all once cleared

I reject your reality and substitute my own! End of discussion, GG.

not sure what you want to point out here. I do not even care of taking part in this endless debate.

I just expressed what the hard numbers do. The majority of subs rule. If that majority wants something (or needs it to meet whatever objective the devs may have, for example 50% T5 clear when 3.0 comes. Number purely made out of thin air), then it will happen. No matter what people may think about it here and there.
