Hmm no, I would say they would need to put something amazing on it for my SMN. Stuff we have from 1.x days. Like Garuda Contigation +10 seconds, or DoT Potency +3, Refresh +5, Enmity -5 etc. Without any of that stuff I don't really care x.x Also if they refuse to add interesting stats due to ~balance issues~ even tho those are in abundance in this game, then they can add more horizontal content. So say..if we had NM type leves that pop in tiers in the open world with my FC and they also gave nice rewards...I could say, well if we did the raid we would have an easier time doing this content...etc. But here we are 3 years later with the same boring cycle. Glamour and hair styles are nice but it is not enough for me to care to want to go do these fights. We need real rewards, we need something in this game where you /check someone or see them and say..WHOA!!! They have that!??? HOLY CRAP GUYS LOOK!!! Never ONCE has that happened in FFXIV for me after 1.23.

Oh, and despite what Yoshida and SE seem to think no, nerfing them will not make me want to do these fights more. It is simply lack of rewards, interesting stats and shallow content/lack of.

That is 2 fights...with obsolete rewards. For months. That is simply not enough. Not even close lol....they need horizontal content with longevity in rewards.
