Also eyeroll worthy is when someone claims that gear doesnt matter in coil and you only need the minimum to enter and getting better gear wouldnt really change a thing.
T4, when it was current content (no echo), would be an example of a good fight. You needed people who knew how to perform their roles (snap aggro, know how to dps, mp management). Now its an utter faceroll when you outgear it by 30 ilvls AND a 20% echo. Same with T1 and 2.

For SCoB, gear really didn't help at all and neither would have echo if they didn't make changes to the mechanics. No amount of hp would've saved you from getting smacked by a Renaud or a bad shriek. When you design a fight like that, it becomes hard to make it easier naturally without changing its mechanics.
