I hate the idea of Echo Buff. It should be part of some easy server not whole game.

This may come as a shock to you, but some people like to actually challenge themselves to be better than others. It's called being competitive. Not everyone can be as accepting of mediocrity as you are.

"Who cares anyway right?"... is usually always spoken by the guy at the bottom.

If you wanted to be competitive, you would have downed T5 about 4-5 months ago, and the extreme primals the first week of 2.1

The time for competition on 2.0/2.1 content has long since past, just let it go.

So because I joined a month ago, I'm automatically screwed out of enjoying content the way it was originally intended to be played? I don't care about gear, or status, or any of that crap, yet just because I wasn't here day 1, I'm not allowed to enjoy a challenging experience? I know it might be hard for you to see past your own experiences, but not everyone has been playing since 1.0's beta. Not every newbie is inept at playing the game. So just because I'm 'late' to the party, my enjoyment of the game is invalid? And I'M the selfish one for wanting content to stay as it is? Unbelievable.

There are ways to make the game more challenging for yourself. Go in with the bare minimum ilevel required for entry, turn off all echo buffs you may receive, hell do it naked if you want.

If you want a challenging experience, then be creative and give yourself a challenge.

As the person below you said: there are plenty of people who think the same way as you. Find them, group with them, have your cake and let everyone else have theirs too.
