Booing when Coil2 Nerf was announced

[NyarukoW]

... It was never, ever, about how fast or easy it eventually became. ...

You don't get the point. The point is about how thing eventually become. You do NOT want to newer players or newbies blocked on stuff forever. So you adjust content difficulty be it crafting, raids, or whatever else so it becomes accessible over time. This SE being really smart about the whole thing. People whine about stuff on the forums all the time, but SE has their own plan and they tune things based on the data they have.

I find it ridiculous when people say they have "no time" to beat Coil. You have/had 7 months to beat each coil set. ...

Ridiculous why? People don't have the time that is fact. SE knows this fact their data bears that out. 7 months is NOT enough time, and certainly not enough for the newbie that liked the trial and gets the new subscription tomorrow, or the legacy player that played for 1 months and for whatever reason had to be away for a year, or people that chose to focus on other aspects and now wants to jump in with final coil. You don't get to dictate how they play. SE knows that. And they want to make things inclusive and accessible, with the new content (a.ka. final coil) being the new big goal for raiders.

...
The game learning curve must be maintained to a hard enough degree.

That curve is maintained by new content. Old content being more accessible does not alter that fact.
