Why I have no interest in Coils more specifically, T9.

[Ayrie]

I never said it was easy.

It would always be a work in progress, but then that has been true of Coil and primals in FFXIV, so I see no difference.

Exploits are what they are, if the exploit is game or fight breaking, then it should be fixed, if not, then either ignore it, or mitigate it.

Then the community will cry foul that the leading edge groups got their gear in watered down content while those behind get hammered with the full wrath of the fight.

That will make things much worse for people not in the lead of progression, like many of us.

With the current coding practice: content eases with age. As it is the same fight in better gear with global buffs (hello echo). So the people in the lead have disadvantage instead of quirky bugs to exploit.

Edit: I submit to you as evidence: sticking Absolute Virtue in a goblin footprint. Heal tanking AV in a inaccessible spot so he cannot attack... simple examples of unintended coding flaws giving people easy clears, but making it harder on everyone as a result. It is an extreme example, but serves the point.

Like when they fixed the thing with Titan-Egi taking like zero damage from Ramuh.

People cried so much about that.
