Take it easy on the Nerfing :/

I have said this time and time again, this game doesn't require some magical skill set you are born with, just experience and practice. If you want to down content, then you get better at your class, you learn the mechanics and you do it. Nothing is stopping you. If that doesn't sound like fun for you then great, this game has a cheeseboard of funsies for you to do anyway.

Locking story behind coil was a bad move on SE's part. I agree on that though.

My own situation has gotten much better, yes. that's not to say every other experience didn't exist. If I had an axe to grind why wouldn't it be for coil? If a certain content proves more "frustrating" than "hard", do you think I'll ask for more of it?

The tightrope se walks with nerfs and releases are so that people aren't bottlenecked from enjoying content. That isn't quite what the forum crowd shares, but the forum crowd can't control what priorities people have.
You can't force "the bad" to be a botanist.
