Thread: Is anyone else really disappointed with the nerfs coming in 2.2?

It's like... imagine if someone gave you a really spiffy bike while your buddy has no bike. For 4 months you will ride the bike every day while your buddy has to walk. One day, someone gives your buddy a bike too. But on the same day, he would also give you an awesome car. Would you now be mad your buddy has a bike and feel like the 4 months you didn't have to walk was useless?

But i guess is more important "to be the very best": Oh, you want to get this shiny item too, even if is outdated? Na, you suck, is not for you.

Mmmm you have a point. But being honest, then we should remove FATEs too, since a lot of players level up to 50 doing them (maybe less now we have duty roulette) and they have no idea how to play their job (i swear one day i saw a full ilvl 90 Monk and i was about to cry seeing his rotation...). Also, i know a lot of people who were carried to get their relics (or selling wins), so i guess no matter what you do, you will always meet someone with "training wheels".

I want bumpers on the Titan arena so people won't fall off

Didn't they confirm that you were able to remove the Echo Buff? If so, very little content is actually getting nerfed for "hardcore" players. If you feel that someone else got it the easy way, that's your prerogative, and a fairly narcissistic way of looking at it. This is going to keep happening so that there is a very difficult set of content, and a mid-level difficulty set of content each patch, and it keeps progressing forward. Even with the Echo Buff, T5 will still be quite difficult for a lot of people.

Should obtaining an i90 primal weapon be difficult when you can Zenith your relic in a day after 2.2? You have all of those things on farm.. in pugs. Good for you. Personally, I've been banging my head against titan Ex for a month because farm groups won't let you in unless you've beaten it (they'll queue for Ifrit first) and learning groups are full of people that die quickly and leave the group just as fast.

Again, bring on the echo buff I say. If it helps more groups clear the content, then I'm all for it. Especially when the content is going to be 20 ilvls below the top now (All of your awesome Myth and Coil gear is now the equivalent of Darklight... the shame!).
