There is a valid point buried somewhere in this thread. The issue isn't really that coil is the only content in the game, the issue is that CT is going to be completely useless content. The direction of making -easier- content to bridge into Coil is NOT the direction this game needs. It's something they had planned from the start but foresight after launch should tell them that it's a huge problem.

If you want some perspective, FFXIV is my friend's first MMORPG. He had no clue how to play it, was confused while leveling, ect. He's now cleared up to Turn 3 in Binding Coil. He managed to learn the game as a total beginner to the genre, and now he is half cleared the content that is the highest level content for the next, what, six months? Crystal Tower cannot launch as easier content than coil or the game might actually just die. Which is a shame, because despite it's glaring flaws It's managed to be a very good experience thus far, and even pulled in some of my pickier MMO friends.
