Yoshi and Team treading that fine line

I wish I understood logic...

WE WILL STILL BE RUNNING OLD COIL

Does caps help make that point clear? Coil2 isn't going to be suddenly abandoned. It's fun, will be running to gear out alt jobs, get gear for vanity, and also having fun with friends on unlocked content. Having it be trivialized into the dirt makes it not fun at all.

Just ask for your storymode that gives nothing, or go watch it on youtube. Stop trying to ruin fun fights.

You know... Savage is probably never gonna be nerfed no matter what they do to Coil 2, you do know that right? They WILL at least echo buff normal second coil. >_>

Edit: And for everyone who is saying that this is currently the hardest content in the game, that's wrong simply because Savage is a harder version of it. Making Second Coil of Bahamut (Savage) the hardest content currently and if anyone is really worried about achievement from beating the content they made Savage just for that.

I'm currently on the final push to clear T9 myself, actually. Don't have much time to play, unfortunately, so I haven't quite got the whole thing into farm mode yet. But hoping to have it finished in time to start Final Coil on the 28th. So no, I'm not some lowly casual looking to get handed easy clears so that I can have all the cool toys that the big boys are playing with. Don't try to address me as such simply because I don't see what all the fuss over the difficulty adjustments is about.

The caps was unnecessary, just rude. Just sayin'. I'm also not "trying to ruin fun fights". A lot of my friends are slowly leaving FFXIV (like they usually do near the implementation of another big patch) because they've already beaten the current content to death and have no interest in it anymore. It's not "fun" anymore. So you're right, they won't "suddenly abandon" Coil 2.. they're already abandoning Coil 2 (and FFXIV entirely, for that matter). It's fun when you're learning it, and when you get that whole "YEAH! We finally got it down!" moment. Maybe it's even fun for you the second time. And perhaps the 3rd. But then... it just starts to get old. And monotonous. And tedious. And boring. And that's where we're at now. Do you think I have much "fun" clearing Turn 6-8 anymore? Nope. They're just a set of steps to follow. Don't mess up Pollen. Don't be an idiot during Blighted Bouquet. Watch out for Voice/Shriek. Don't look at Petrifaction. Etc, etc etc. Only T9 actually has some degree of "fun" and "challenge" to it anymore.

So, why should I care if they reduce the difficulty? I plan to have beaten it by then. Then, since they're removing the weekly restriction, I'll want to farm up gear as quickly as possible since RNG hates us on some of our gear drops so that we can be adequately geared for the Final Coil. Besides.. if the difficulty adjustment is simply adding the Echo like they did for BCoB, the mechanics are ALL still there. It's just easier to survive the hits and to make the DPS checks since all the Echo really does is increase HP, increase damage dealt, and increase HP restoration from curative magic. Turn 5 is still Turn 5. Still gotta deal with Twisters. Still gotta deal with Dive Bombs. Still gotta deal with conflags and snakes. Sure... it's a hell of a lot easier now than it was then, but the fight is still essentially the same in terms of mechanics, most of which just insta-kill if you screw them up anyway.

That said, there's no reason to be rude to people. You can argue as much as you like, but I have a valid point.
