It's too soon to nerf content!

Anybody wants to experience the true difficulty of the fight can get their butt in gear and do it before 2.2.

[KraggyKor]

Can we all agree on this?

Nope, don't agree.

Look this is how I see it as well as everyone does every boss and instance can be beaten you just have to know how to play your job and mainly DODGE..... As far as the nerf goes I came from FFXI so if any of you who played know how long it took them to nerf CoP back then it was basically either you were going to complete it or you just wasn't going to progress in the game no matter how much you cried NOTHING got nerfed until 2 years ago and FFXI been out since 2002 now people cry online and have things handed to them it doesnt matter if you are a Hardcore player or Casual player you can get it done without the nerf and if you can't then I suggest you find another game to play because nerfing the game takes the fun out of it and when people beat all the instances and have nothing else to do until the next patch update you going to hear more crying about there's nothing to do and they are going to unsub.... well you wanted it this way so why cry about it now.

So either it never gets nerfed and you cant progress and unsub, or everything is nerfed and you have nothing to do so you unsub. How about that nice middle ground, where new content is challenging and only the "top" players beat it till the next new content comes out, when its reduced in difficulty and everyone can beat it, and brand new hard content is released that only the "top" players can beat.

Having things that no one aside from the top 10% or so ever see is WASTED DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES. Think about it, why spend time, money and man hours on stuff that the majority of your playerbase wont see? It makes no fiscal sense. Having a cycle of Hard top tier and easier 2nd tier content is the way to go. It keeps everyone with something to do, means everyone sees the content and ensures new players and old alike can jump in and get going anytime.

I don't know why people are so shocked and amazed. This was announced from the beginning.

"Too early to nerf content"

It would've been 7 months since release when they nerf their first piece of content. That's perfect timing. What are you talking about? And also, YoshiP even said at many interviews with numerous websites, including video interviews, BEFORE LAUNCH, that as a new piece of content comes through, the last piece will be nerfed.

Not a single soul complained. In fact, it was rather the opposite. Everyone was supportive of it. Now fast forward 5 months, those people who were okay with it/didn't complain back then, are now complaining now?

You should of known what you would've gotten yourself into, before you purchased this game.

Because existance of hard content was given in that kind of statement. Yet nothing relative hard exists in this game. People expected 12-hour-long-fights to be nerfed to 2-hour-long-fights. Not 10 minutes to 3 minutes. People expected 1% drop rates to be buffed to 15% drop rates. Not 100% to "trash". People expected content, that can be walkedthrough only by 5% of playerbase be nerfed to be accessable by 30%. Not 50% to 100%.

Yes, all those assumpotions were made by playerbase basing on FFXI experience, but, damn, you can't blame them, because no one in their mind expected that amount of idiocy from developers of longliving company.

This game is not designed for the kind of challenge you want. Back when 1.0 went offline and I read about 2.0 coming I knew then it would not be like you want. If you didnt realize it I am sorry. This is obviously not the game for you. What we are getting is exactly what we were told. Period.

So first nerfing housing prices was bad because it was "hardcore long term content" and "casuals" were ruining it with their "entitlement", now nerfing content is good because "casuals" can catch up and people who are against nerfs are "entitled"? Ok, perfect arguments every time, great job team.
