It's about time to add Coil story mode, isn't it ?

Snip.

I'd like to understand WHY can't they do it? What is stopping them? Skill?
Enlighten me please. Because if the content is there, everyone has access to it, they only have themselves to blame if they can't do it.

Here's why I can't do it at the moment.

I'm pregnant. I can't commit to a static full-well knowing that at the moment, I need to you know do things like barf and go potty literally on a moments notice...and soon will be at a little minion's beck and call (babies don't feed themselves, and daddy's lack the 'equipment' also, it takes a while for babies to be on set 'normal' schedules...so really, until I know that the baby will sleep through the night, no statics for me). I've been in static's before and was able to do the content, on time pre-nerfs (before my static disbanded). So it's not a 'gee do I suck thing' It's 100% a 'ain't nobody got time for that' thing.

Which by the way, I totally accept is MY problem. And I don't expect to be able to do the hardmode versions of the story/nor do I expect to get the gear etc. But this is what I would like/why I wish there were 2 versions:

1. I would like to be able to see the story. Simply put, waiting until my baby is old enough for me to join a static again is really waaay to long to wait to see new storylines.
2. I DON'T want the content nerfed before I can actually do the 'hard' versions. See right now, the content gets gimped before I can even really focus on it. I don't want that. I want it to be there, in all it's glory when I'm ready to do it. Having a 'storymode' and a 'hard' mode allow for this as the main reason for the coil nerfs now has been to make the content easier to be pugged/accessibilty. But if there were 2 modes (ala normal/ex primals now), then SE would have less reason to systematically nerf old content when new content comes out.

The irony for me when people keep saying 'get gud', is it has nothing to do with 'boo-hoo I suck' and everything to do with 'please SE keep it hard until I can try it that way too' I WANT to be able to do the hard mode....I just don't think I'll logically be able to even attempt the first tiers of the new Alex dungeon (or heck, for that matter finish off Coil), before the nerf-hammers happen.

Now for others it's a mix of things
...some are in my boat meaning real life is getting in the way, but they otherwise enjoy the challenge/don't mind putting in the time, but just don't have the time RIGHT NOW!.

...some don't like farming the same content over and over...see a little known thing people focus on when it comes to 'join/make a static and learn it' is statics tend to not only want to beat the battle, but they want to farm it as well...if you however, don't care about gear (yes there are people like that), and really just care about the challenge and/or clear, statics really aren't for you.

...some people find dying over and over again on a battle and spending hours on it soul-crushing. They simply do not want to spend hours wiping. Even the top-tier, super duper, 'leet crowd spent hours upon hours wiping out to this content, so it's reasonable for someone, who's being honest with themselves to say 'yeah, you know, I enjoy seeing the story etc... but I really find it draining to just die over and over' And considering that this is supposed to be a form of relaxation/entertainment....something we're supposed to enjoy, if deathga's over and over aren't your thing I can understand why you'd avoid them (now to be fair, most of the time, people who fall into this catergory avoid endgame content all together, but they still wish there was a simplier version so they could try it). Also, not enjoying dying over and over again does NOT equal=sucky player, it just means they don't enjoy wipes.

....some people don't want to commit to gaming at specific times w/ specific people. They'd rather PuG or randomly do content with friends/fc mates when they are available. For some people, just knowing 'I have to log in for my static at x time on y days' ='s stress and they start to dislike the game/grind, even though they are capable of doing the content and would otherwise, actually enjoy it.
