Which failed spectacularily, give them gear progression paths that take longer but do eventually make it possible to clear the content.

I think the hardcore should always get the best gear of course, the other players just need to wait, and when they get access to that gear, the hardcore should be at the next tier. Totally fine, anyone arguing that is going into the whole "I paid for this so I should get everything" entitlement argument, which is just not how MMOs work. But I am of the belief that most casual/mainstream players understand this and don't care if they have the best gear, as long as they have something to aim for and a concrete path to follow.
I'm totally looking forward to how end game raiding gets address in 2.3. With CT2, new primals, new classes/jobs, and if the limit break revamp makes it out by 2.3 how that will impact T6-T9. I feel more optimistic from all these options over Novus.

Yet as far as Coil 3 goes. I hope the cycle we experienced in Coil and Coil 2 don't repeat again.
