Am I the only one that sort of kinda likes the nerf to SoF?

The problem with the Trial was that you're asking a random group of people over the internet to cooperate. That usually almost never ends well.

This is sad, but true. You'd figure FFXIV is supposed to be a game that requires teamwork (it being multi-player and all), but the truth is that most people don't want to co-operate with others. Never understood why that crowd even plays MMOs in the first place.

I still don't think SoF really needed a nerf (after beating it without issues with my first DF group), but I guess if it'll help my friends catch up quicker for Heavensward, then it's cool.

Completely agreed. Steps of Faith was really not that difficult. It required some basic coordination with a group, that's it. Yes, this doesn't always work out in DF and that sucks, but the fight could have been easily completed by asking people on your own server or making a PF. I find it incredibly hard to believe that any player wouldn't be able to find 7 other players who have the ability to work together to clear the fight through shout chat or PF.

If the goal of the nerf was to make the fight easier to DF when you get players who can't listen or work together, then mission accomplished.
