Just a reminder, SE never used the term Story Mode, they said it was an easier version. Easier doesn't mean a walk in the park.
I didn't. Or you can provide a quote of me where I say "T5 should be solo content or 4 man puggable". As far as I know (and I've checked back the original discussion for a few pages, to be sure), I never said anything more than "remove instant kill mechanics and reduce a bit hard hitting moves". You know, exactly what they did for T2 and T4, and for T6-8. But not for T5 (despite T5 being a useless wall now) nor T9 (which is STILL relevant as it block's T10 access, so I have no problem of it not being nerfed). I talked about Alexander as SCOB "nerfs + echo included", which means T6-8 mainly as T9 is NOT nerfed (I'll go back at it later)

As for bolded part, I never said it either. T8 now isn't a walk in the park, and while learning it it still takes a fair amount of time. Without echo, many groups wouldn't be able to get through too (I've seen a few fail the timer with current echo and i120 gear)

Not because it was hard (I assume), but there was literally no motivation or reason to do so. You literally proved my point except framed it around items, while I am framing it around cutscenes.
Assumptions again. I didn't go into savage yet (important part) because I have other things to do, and they take up a lot of my play time. I play by priorities, and right now, my priorities are going to FCoB to know the end of the story I've been fighting for for such a long time, getting my magiteck rod, and that's about it. I don't have time for more. Gonna judge me ? You're free to do so. I'm free to despise your attitude.

An echo buff is a nerf last time I checked, allowing you to make mistakes, take more damage, and push phases way faster so you don't have to deal with them as long. You have to do far less twisters now then you had to do at launch. Also don't forget we are nerfing the content every patch ourselves by overgearing.
Echo doesn't help for instant kill mechanics. It's not because said mechanics happen less that they are nerfed. You're trying hard, but echo is NOT a nerf to the fight. Else why bother getting rid of ADS's paralysis ? Or T6's bouquet ? Or T7's petrification ? There should be no need, it's already nerfed according to you.

oh wait, I only said that T5 and T9 weren't nerfed. What happened to T1-4, T6-8 ? They don't matter anymore ? Or maybe they aren't Coil anymore.
Coil was never suppose to be easy, it was never suppose to be equivalent to a story mission.
So I'll ask you again :
If the devs didn't want people to clear it more easily and with complete stranger, without vocal chat or anything, why would they nerf the Coil, aside from T5 and T9 (being the sole exceptions) ?

Didn't they just want everyone to be able to enjoy the story ?
