Booing when Coil2 Nerf was announced

[AdamFyi]

You're still ignoring all of the people who haven't even attempted second coil yet because they don't have the drive or the time to spend tons of hours wiping to learn fights.

To be honest, I raid for about 5 hours per week, and I'm currently working on T9. Here's the catch; I welcome content to be eased up for people who can't spend hours on end to practice because of limited time or erratic schedules (IRL is more important, people!). Old content does not need to be nerfed to the ground, rather, eased up naturally by the introduction of better gear, and to some extent currently shown, the Echo. Coil has story gated behind it, and I think everyone should deserve the right to at least experience the cutscenes, no matter how long it takes. Sure, you may only get to see it once the content becomes obsolete, but at least it's something to look forward to.

It surely brings people together. All those PF parties asking for fresh players fill the screen, doesn't it? No, wait, they're filling with nothing but i105+ ONLY NO MYTH MESSAGE 1 SHOT ONLY NO N00BS. It's also fairly telling that I never see those parties anywhere near filled either, it's also just 3 players sitting there for hours on end. You're being childish and unreasonable, no one is going to quit the game over any of this.

That's because people took the time and effort to actually set up their own parties on the party finder. All players have equal access to the party finder and create groups according to their specification, whether it be a learning group or hunting group - it doesn't matter. All it takes is a little initiative to start up a party, and viola; you have yourself a party set up on the party finder. You have to be patient for those parties to fill though.

Yeah, I didn't mean that people who currently raid all want the casual/less dedicated/less skilled/whatever crowd to be held back. He just keeps bringing up what like two people said about PF groups failing due to one person messing up mechanics as if everyone wants things nerfed into the ground for that reason alone. The simple fact is that easing difficulty of older content is not a new concept for MMORPGs, and Yoshida said this was the plan before 2.0 release.

I don't think anyone is going to quit the game over older content being made easier for less serious players. Walling off those players and making it difficult for new players to catch up can cause a lot of problems, though. There are some games I've wanted to try, but have been dissuaded by friends currently playing because they told me catching up would require tons of time and frustration. SE ultimately wants to make money, and making it more realistic for new players to jump in and join friends is necessary if you want your game to continue growing.
