Booing when Coil2 Nerf was announced

[Tiggy]

And what IS the 'lowest common denominator'?

They want tank and spank. Many people do want it to be that easy and they argue vehemently for it. These are the "Story mode" people who just want to watch cut scenes, or just don't have the skill it takes to beat it. (by their own admition in many posts)

My perspective comes entirely from a point of game balance. Not stroking my epeen, and It has nothing to do with any ego. I recently quit raiding a few weeks ago and have no intention of resuming until the expansion at the earliest. So please don't assume you know me, what I do, or what pleasures I get out of it.

If you read most of my threads you would see I personally have no issue with the way SE has chosen to slowly nerf the old content at all. A minor tweak to ADS, echo, and better gear were plenty in my opinion as they kept many of the mechanics in place. I have a problem who want it to be even easier than that so that anyone and their dog can face roll it. If new players don't have a progression system that slowly ramps up in difficulty we will see a situation where average game skill decreases unless you are someone actually tackling the harder content. The only content would be super easy or super hard. There will be no middle ground between easy and hard, and that will discourage people further and propagate an even more extreme skill gap than we already see today.

You won't hurt my ego by making the fights easier, but you may very well hurt the game and I do care about that.

Is the end-game raiding ego so easily bruised that a slight lessening of difficulty in Coil will result in internal bleeding?

Exhibit C.
