I am sure lots of People are happy with easing up some of the mechanics. 10% Echo, a few ilevel 120 items and instant Death mechanics removed will surely make the 2nd Coil more accessible for Players without Statics.

What I do not understand on SE's side is why they do not leave their Players with a choice. You can click the Echo away if you want the original Challenge but T6-T8 are no longer what they were with all those Changes. Why can't they just keep both versions and upon registering, you choose between the original version and the eased up one?

This way, people struggling could increase their chances to down the Turns and those who would like to experience the normal version could still have it and everybody would be happy. I am done with T6-8 so I don't really care what happens to it but I find SE's general approach to it doubtful.

I am no hardcore Player for sure (still in P4 T9 and not stepped into the Final one) and I am always a bit behind but that's OK. But still, I prefer having a choice about what is supposed to be the toughest Challenge in the Game. I am glad I have beaten them before they removed almost everything where you had to pay attention to.

For the last Coil, please SE, give us a choice. You want to bang your head really hard against a wall? Do Savage mode. You want the normal and initial Version? Go and do it. You do not have a static and not enough time to learn each turn in several weeks? Choose the ligthened up Version (which is released at least 3 months after the normal one). This would be my ideal understanding of inviting ALL Kind of Players to a Challenge. What they are doing instead is neither fish nor fowl.
