Please stop making old content super easy

[ShannaraFan]

I say this because the content should get easier naturally with the ilevel raise. I know you want to make it easier for noobies, but all the current veterans had to play through it at it's original difficulty as noobs, why make it easier for the current batch of noobies? One of the things I enjoy most about old content is the ability to return to it later, as a higher geared character and seeing the difference in how much more effective you are than before.

My point is that making old content easier is pointless and serves no purpose. I can understand making REALLY difficult content easier, like Titan EX, but not dungeons, these things are easy already and will get even easier as you gear up. Thoughts?

idm echo buff nerf as long they dont nerf mechanics ( pretty sure huge mechanics nerf coming to T7 by 2.4)

look at T5 even with 20% echo its still a tough wall to many players

unlike T1-T4 they nerved some mechanics making them too easy

Titan EX is not difficult.

What old content are you talking about OP?

Hahahaha speak for yourself. I know MANY people who still haven't cleared Titan EX because it's too difficult.

My point is that I can understand a nerf to difficult content like Titan EX because a lot of people actually need it, but who needs dungeons nerfed? They're easy already. Gone are the days of challenging dungeons, ie Aurum Vale, they're all so easy now

It's not difficult, you learn the rotation and you go through the cycles. You get into the rhythm of the music as you fight him. It's like riding a bike.

I'm going to have to ask the same question. Which content are you talking about? I just ran AV a few days ago, it didn't seem nerfed at all. And I haven't heard anything about the extreme modes being adjusted. I could be mistaken, but that's why I'm asking.

Perspective. One who's ridden bikes for years will say "Yeah, it's easy" but another who has never ridden a bike will find it hard. FFXIV is many, many, many people's first MMO so they will find content like Titan EX to be hard.

Yes, make it easier. The reward from old content does not justify the effort.

[Urthdigger]

No, it's ok to nerf older content to help players catch up. It's all well and good to say "it was tougher when we did it!" but a new player doing the content nowadays, if the content is not made easier, will have an even HARDER experience due to a lack of players willing to participate. If the fights are a major chore to go through, and are older content and thus don't drop high end gear, who's going to want to go back to help them? They would literally only have the people at the same level of progression to choose amongst when it comes to finding party members, which means long times spent looking for a party, as well as a lack of players who've done the research and learned the fight, as those players would quickly move on upon beating it.

This thread is pointless to be honest... Just my opinion.
