Retrograde Content

[Djeserit]

I'm not saying that CT is bad, it's good it's coming out, but I think it should be after coil or in between coil turns type of content. but it suppose to be before you do coil, and coil is already being beat left and right. I get that they will continue to add floors to crystal tower, to make it harder. Though to leave an important piece of content out for such a long time is a terrible idea.

The problem with this approach: say they added 6-10 on coil, and pushed CT back another patch, so "hardcores" had something to do in 2.1...

2.2 rolls around: "Everyone has finished Coil 1-10, add more coil, don't add CT yet!"

It would just snowball and they would end up scrapping CT completely. While that may appease the "hardcores", I would prefer a variety of endgame content (and a way to gear up alts to a reasonable level) as opposed to 1 raid for the foreseeable future.

Its really just something to do

Yep, that's exactly what Video Games are, just something to do. Maybe treat them as such?

Problem is Coil is not hardcore content. The only reason it seems that way now is because you need at minimum darklight and a relic but frankly that's not to hard to obtain, even for an extreme casual. It just may take them a few more weeks to be coil ready. And most ppl can master each coil turn in a night as long as they pay attn., maybe watch a vid or two before they start and coordinate a bit with their pt on ts or whatever. Calling coil hardcore content tho is like calling nyzul isle hardcore content. Its really just something to do until we get something better, which is also a reason so many ppl just log in to cap tomes and log out for the rest of the week.

The only reason Coil is "hardcore content" is because CT is currently missing. We should actually be grinding for DL gear in order to enter CT. Gear progression was meant to be as follows:

AF > WP > AK > DL > CT > Allagan and getting AF2 while working up to Allagan. This is fairly obvious by looking at the iLevels on current gear.
