I'm not ok with them making T1-5 easier and it's now part of the reason I am quitting this game. I've been working very hard to get FC members in my FC to work up to being Coil ready so we can down T1 to T5 in the mode it's in pre-patch. We managed to get a 6-man group and have to PUG 2 more for now.

Now Square Enix is punishing my loyalty to my FC by nerfing T1-5. If I soloed this, I'd have jumped into a T1-T5 party and beat T5 a long time ago. Now we have to scramble within the next month or so to beat T5? And we haven't yet mastered T4 with our group?!

Sorry, Square Enix, you lost a customer. Made me, and many others, bust ourselves dry to beat Coil as it is and you still want to screw us over.

Simple solution to this. Offer Coil T1-5 as a Normal and Hard Mode. Normal Mode is the nerfed version and Hard Mode is the original version of Coil. Simple.

The Normal version can get you access to T6-9 with i80 or i85 drops, the Hard version can get you the Allagan gear.
