A Better Lockout Removal Compromise

[KyteStones]

It will always amaze with with peoples attitudes.. the whole "I cleared it first not give me something special for doing it before everyone else" mentality.

Do you realize how many people that would piss off? A "special glow" for gear? I've only run coil T1-T4 once all the way through and T1-T2 many times. I don't have a static that is available with my work schedule that changes weekly so I have to Party Finder it up.

So just because you have the necessary free time to clear the content, you should be rewarded with a special piece of gear or other ammenities?

What ever happened to the "Oh.My.God. We did it! Whooo!" feeling for beating something incredibly hard?

Kids these days. Gimme gimme gimme is all that's on your minds. Games used to be all about accomplishments, bragging rights for beating the hardest mode. Now its all achievements, special items for clearing it etc.

Faith in the gaming community is a dying fast.

Get over it. they have the gear to show for it. They get to do Turns 6-9..this how MMO's work

Ooh, oooh, I know what we can give the people that cleared T5 prior to 2.2!

How about access to Turn 6 on day 1 of 2.2? That seems like a pretty rad little prize, don't you agree?

And you get to t6 on day two after you wipe 20 times, stack echo and faceroll Twin.

I stopped reading at "Disclaimer: if you disagree what I say you must be a moron"

They do get something...pride in knowing they did it. It is a personal achievement and whatever anyone else does has nothing to do with their own accomplishment.

You already got to lord your gear over others for a few months. Quit whining and utilize your gear to down the new content, and enjoy lording the new stuff over those filthy casual publords for another few months.

Unless you got carried to i90 and are terrified the legacy of your skill will die with 2.2 because your FC realized you are bad...

... why else would you be worried about this?

[Karnyboy]

The only people who care what you achieved before a nerf to an encounter is the ones complaining about not being a unique snowflake. Stop whining nobody cares but you. Deal with it, if you rush to end game content then lay in the bed you made. The rest of us will do content when we're good and ready since it's not going anywhere.

Not true at all. They have explicitly stated that the echo buff will apply over weeks of not beating it, not individual wipes.

Get this. They also said the echo buff is completely optional. Do those groups that elect to fight without the echo buff also get these proposed rewards?

[Zumi]

The reward is you get an achievement date of before the nerfs went into effect and also you can start the new content right away without having to farm old content. All the 1-5 gear is going to be replaced with 6-9 gear if you are a top tier player very soon so it doesn't make sense for SE to go and make the 1-5 gear look different.

The hardcore top tier players will be sporting the new 6-9 gear while casuals will be running around with the 1-5 and myth gear still.
