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

AK is faceroll in it's current state. Dumbing it down more won't make a lot of difference, really. Will just get me to my next dungeon that much faster.

I actually agree with this. But, if Wall is being killed before bees pop then there wouldn't be a need to remove them. As for new players not missing them, I'm sure they won't, doesn't mean they should get a free ride

I appreciate the humor (no sarcasm), but technically it isnt a free ride. They still have to fight the wall.

But here's the thing, when you work up the idea to go back to old content, unless you put on some DL or myth gear, then you will be overgeared for the content. I am over geared for Titan HM, but guess what? I can still get killed on that fight. I still have to obey the rules of the mechanics and the fight. Even with a 10% buff I imagine people will still die. And thus, it will still be challenging to "them".

But you have to remember, Time for development in reaction to user comments is much much faster in todays gaming market. Back in the FFXI days it took month before word got to the Japanese Players, and then on to the Japanese Developers. Today it's a million times faster.

Great, I retract everything I said then.

People do AK for the challenge? What kind of example is that?

Why does someone killing something and getting something you got, but more easily, mean that your time was wasted? When I think about wasted time, I think about the months that FCs spent on Twintania for just the right amount of RNG or 15 minutes of adequate execution.

Do you study your ass off for a test, get an A and then are really happy for the people who stayed out drinking all night and got Bs and As from the curve? Probably not, you worked harder, right?

Video games and exams are apples and oranges

I have beaten everything in the game multiple times, the nerfs are better for the game, get over it

Bad example lol I never studied, got drunk and still got my A`s. Doesn't matter how much you study. You either get it or you don't. All these people saying mmo should do this and be that should get together and make their own game. Then watch the complaints come in lol.

Someone else getting T5 loot on an easier difficulty does not effect me at all. In fact, it makes farming gear with aesthetic value even more of a breeze.

But you know, we had to reform our raid group when we started progression on T5. With the amount of time we were putting in, we were not able to make enough progress and when we did it would be two steps forward and three steps back. I want all the people we can get in on raiding, it makes putting a group together and recruiting easier.

I already done all the 2.0 and 2.1 content many times. I am perfectly fine with it getting nerfed because I will be focusing on the new content coil 6-9 and mog + levi ex. I did the old content when it was hard that is a good enough achivement for me, it doesn't bother me one bit that people can catch up, I will be enjoying my new content.
