Video Games are for people who have the time to play and put effort in advanceing.

LOL, "Video Games" are a lot of different things, so pack up your bags and go home. The rest of your comment is just flat-out elitist garbage. I just hope you realize that if EVERY NO SKILL / NO TIME actually player left, a good 75-80% of the playerbase would leave and the game would have to shut down.

Plus, no one is asking for the game to be 'dumbed down.' They are however asking for access to easier versions of some content so that they can actually enjoy it. Why should your elitist attitude win you all of the content and the rest of us get stuck with scraps? We all pay for this game, not just you.

2nd coil would like to have a word with you, demand for nerfs was high for T7 especially. Coil by design and by INTENT was meant to be handled by highly skilled or higher skilled players that can set aside time. It is by design in which Yoshi P has actually said this content is meant to be like this.
It is by design if you cant cope with the content then you will be behind or just find a way to improve, this is by design.

Fair enough. Here's the funny thing, though.. it wasn't "casuals" complaining about SCoB, it was the low- and mid-tier raiders who weren't quite good enough to handle it. Nerfs to SCoB came before pretty much ANY "casual" even had it unlocked.

As for existing Coil, I agree that it should never have been dumbed down. Instead, a "story mode" should have been released, say in 2.55, that greatly reduced the difficulty of the fights so that "casuals" and others here more for story than for extreme challenge could experience it. Coil is just a total mistake, anyway, since it had some MAJOR plot points gated behind content that 90% of the game's population would likely never see (until ilvls were so great that it became lolpwn worthy). It should have had some sort of secondary, non-critical, and very sparse plot, akin to the side-story and HM dungeons, instead of dealing directly with Bahamut et al.
