Coil is currently endgame content that you're intended to struggle on. In a few patches, it will no longer be intended for you to struggle on, because there will be more to do. And square actually wants people to DO IT, not be scared off from it.

No matter which type of progression it is, people simply enjoy progressing. Coil will simply be replaced by something else of equal difficulty.


I'm hot for super difficult content, but consistent progression is the sole reason why I give this MMO time of day over others. I hate how linear gear progression in FFXIV is looking, but I will support Square's decision to keep the progression train accessible as long as they keep doing it right.
