your a hardcore player so NONE of the nerfs have any affect on you whatsoever. people like to gripe about it but it does 0 harm to the community. while all you hardcores are clearing T6-9 with ease us casual players will still be trying to clear T1-5. the echo buff helps but it will not replace skill. Why on earth would SE block 90% of their community out of content just so that the 10% can say they are the only ones who will ever be able to beat it. SE has to cater to all players, not just the hardcores. the ONLY thing you have to say about any endgame content in any mmo is "I did it first" that is all you are ever going to be able to say. If you havent realized that about MMOs i suggest maybe going back to non-online games.
