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

No, I think they should take the time to learn the content, their class, to push themselves and practice. If you won't do that then why should you get the same rewards as those that do?

Other players do not care of what YOU wish for them. Honestly. Not being mean there. You are just not entitled to decide/wish/want anything for them.

Welcome to reality: this is not XI, it is XIV...

It's hardly a nerf. It's more like an option.

If you want to do 2.2 at "original difficulty" you still can. Simply opt out of the echo buff and don't be over geared for the fights!
Nobody can take away someones accomplishments. This is really a non-issue.

After playing XI for 9+ years, I can tell you that it was mostly a time sink. I love the game, it was my first MMO, but I can't pretend that it was the holy grail of MMOs.
Yes, certain things were difficult however the overwhelming majority of content was a time sink.

As a casual FFXIV player, I actually agree with this ^. You worked for it, you earned it!

I never said what other people should think, just how I feel. I can wish whatever I want to want/wish whatever I want. Doesn't mean they have to wish/want or even consider the same thing.

Ok, so there will be a button to make the bees appear in AK? To make moves on AK bosses hit with the same intensity? For FATES to retain difficulty?

Great, I retract everything I said then.

Haha this cracks me up. I know, deep down, that most of the people who are complaining just want to come back to the content when the are over geared for it.

"Hey i need to run a friend through AK. Watch me solo the wall (because of my awesome dps)."

This is all they want. This is all they are upset about "losing" despite the fact that an effort to die (Aside from the auto application in coil...which can just be dispelled) needs to be made before even getting the buff.

As far as the bees are concerned. People who are so far passed AK burn the wall before the bees even pop. Missing the bees is a non-issue because no one waits for them anyway. New players wont even miss the bees because they will be removed.
