Right now DR/DF is a pain for DPS as it is and Healers don't get insta-groups either, however a steady in not spectacular stream of Tanks join for their daily Tome haul.

One DL is no longer bartered for then gearing up alt. jobs will no longer create a need for Philos while Low Level DRs yield of 10 Mythos is derisory.

I see no reason why the majority of tanks and healers who now run Low Levels and thus help out new players still leveling will bother as they'll have nothing worth the time.

Worse, new players after 2.2 are going to be expected to do innumerable battles with the RNG to get the gear needed to get them into higher content .. this is a failed progression model that should be reserved for the phat lewt that doesn't gate progression.

SE clearly have pandered to the 'hardcore' and their demands and don't see the consequences of this change.

Oh, silly me, there is an alternative .. buying gil to buy crafted gear at the silly prices I expect to see after 2.2 because crafters know they'll have a far bigger market .. the RNG haters .. than they do now.
