Patch 2.56 comming April 21

Oh god, if the echo is going to bother the top tier's so much, then just turn it off and get on with your gaming life. The content was a wall, sure, but on the release of new stuff, you just want to move people forward and keep the material relevant and keep them subs going. Ultimately, hardcore players only make up less than 10% of the population if that.

News update, you don't have to be hardcore to raid in FFXIV. It's not a reason saying so, it's an excuse.

Some are against nerfs because they want to clear it at its original difficulty. SCoB Nerfs took away the majority of the challenge and some resent how far they did go because they were unable to experience it properly.

Adding an option to run it at its original difficulty or as echo+nerf version will satisfy both crowds.
