Ah, so the first time you did this content was after the echo was brought in and i130 gear was released? Or did you already have this fight under farm, and it's simply easier and quicker for you now that you have better gear and a boost to help out?

If the former, this is an ok statement to make. It must be very easy now.

But if it's the latter, then it's not because of gear/echo that the fight is easier, it is because you already know the fight. Knowing is the main part of success in Coil.

T9 is not "stupidly easy". There's still a lot of mechanics because each phase is almost like it's own battle, and you need to constantly be aware of what is going on and what is coming next. The amount of time you are in a phase is simply less with echo/gear, which can mean there is less room for things to go wrong (less meteors means less chance of placing too close, golems die faster so you don't get meteors/megaflare whilst some are still alive). This doesn't make it impossible to mess up still from lack of knowledge or not handling something correctly. "Stupidly easy" would imply you could simply stand still and ignore everything and still win. This is not true at all.

It's this attitude that makes people who are not yet through T5 feel like they are inferior, and why the look at people like me who are simply tackling Final Coil or have beaten it, as if we are all suddenly elite bastards who look down with noses up at every other player in the game.
