    I guess I see playing this game different then it is. Why is it based on gear and progression forward instead of challenging battles to conquer?

    There are other challenging fights at lvl 60, why not do those?

    People were pretty into fcob when it was relevant. The players who were interested have beaten it many many many times by now. There's no challenge to it anymore.

    When in doubt, assume sarcasm

    By the time I get to there (level 60, Endgame content) new content is out, and everyone says the same thing, "We all did that stuff months ago" ??????? beyond me

    Because the serious people about this stuff HAVE done it months ago. I've run Ravana EX IDK how many times the past 4 months. Beaten A1S 15 times (15 weeks of clears), A2S 13 times and finally am progressing on A4S after three A3S clears.

    Coil was farmed to death in their relevant 2.x patches. Most of the fights you can 4-man without much difficulty, and 8-man unsynced isnt a challenge at all.

    There's still plenty of time before the next savage comes out.

    Even if you for some reason really can't get to 60 by then: skip some stuff. This is a vertical mmo. When the next raid comes out everything from the previous one will be invalidated and the new entry gear will be handed to you on a platter. It's practically impossible to fall behind in this game.

    I would of liked to do it, though I read on forums about people fighting and blaming and going at each others necks even leaving the run so nobody could finish it.
    You don't do any content that people on the forums complain about, even if it interests you? What does that even leave?

    Oh I do play the content though you're right, Forums are a big reason I didn't play coil, too many people complained back then, that's when I made a choice to not even bother with it.

    I am pretty sure others did the same as me, just skipped it and some people tried probably until iron works gear came out and just decided not to even bother.

    I am pretty sure the story was good but coils story should of never been a side thing where people would of just skipped it, I think people would of then had to go through it to get it done.

    Now its just a piece of content that's worthless, back then maybe not but now cmon.

    That's vertical progression for you. It sucks, but seems XIV is never going to switch.
