July 21th - Future of FFXIV - Atma vs Hunts

[Makado]

I'm confused. Why would people not do coil now? Why would you want I110 gear for if its not to down coil?

Still makes it easier to speedrun other content and also for ePeenz even tho im a girl.

I sure hope they find the radar thing an abuse of the game or ToS :/ Its not a hunt otherwise. (Besides, theres still shout and linkshells to listen out for if people still dont want to get up n search, or simply look out for masses of players huddled near a NM/Elite)

To be a boss, duh. Not everybody does coil. But having upgraded gear does make all of the other content easier to do to some extent.

Plus we're likely going to need the higher ilvl gear for newer content. The expansion time is getting closer and closer and I don't know, but personally I kind of hope they stop raising the ilvl and leave it at i110/115 for a while, at least another 3-6 months. Then we can have some new content that actually requires a higher ilvl that isn't just Coil and select primal fights.

Oh, and to the OP. I sincerely hope they don't do a rollback like you're suggesting. That would be horrible thing and while yeah it would be a slap in the face to the cheaters, it would be an even bigger slap in the face to those of us who haven't cheated and have gotten seals.

They wouldn't roll back at this point; it's not damaging enough in the short term and otherwise they've let it fester too long. If they do anything they're more likely to nerf rewards - that is if they do anything at all other than band-aid the system so it's easier to participate. Of course that implicitly confirms another significant item level increase with 2.4 (though it's unlikely that was ever in question) that would depreciate and 'self-correct' rewards for The Hunt.

Not exactly a way to handle it that I agree with, but I can see the rationale. It would be in line with any content-easing that has been also implied to be coming with the next item level increase (ie easing Atma, etc).
