So Second Coil has been destroyed

How are people going to be ready for FCoB when they couldn't even get through SCoB

Let's be real though, if people couldn't get through T6-8 pre-nerfs (legitimately trying, those who started late or couldn't find statics obviously don't fall in this category), then they're not going to get through T9, which wasn't nerfed except through 10% echo. Still need T9 to unlock FCoB.

Beacuse learning T9 by doing T9 is something completely impossible to do, the older fights make it easier to learn T9, but you still CAN learn T9 by doing it, and you CAN learn FCoB by doing FCoB - will be harder, but not impossible.

This is how people who join late are able to do end-game raids, they dont sit through old content learning mechanics, they learn the mechanics of the current end game-raid and that's it.

And perhaps they could keep the content challenging so all you filthy casuals leave and I have decent skilled players to progress with, instead of wiping in a turn 8 PF because the bard was too busy drawing notice me senpai pictures for reddit and not knowing what a tower is.

You know what happens when a game is catered to hardcore players and oldschool grindfest lovers? They fail miserably like Wildstar.

My point was if someone was struggling through T6-8, they're going to struggle through T9. I've seen countless statics go through this, with poor DPS barely squeaking by T8 and then getting stuck on T9 for months because they can't get less than 6 stardusts or kill golems in time. As far as I'm concerned, if you can reliably clear T9, then you "deserve" to be in FCoB. The nerfs to T6-8 won't change that.
