    Old content is old content...honestly, I don't see why nerfing it is such a big deal. If anything beating an echoed t5, then an echoed t9 (yes echo helps with dps checks but it doesn't get players through t5 or 9 divebombs, or elementals, shriek, or ballistic missle), will prepare new players for t10 much, much better than I was when I started 1st coil in 2.0....as dungeons were extremely easy, with no mechanics, followed by coil, which was a drastic ramp up in difficulty.

    This is an excellent point that I think gets neglected. During coil one I had this problem among some others as well, and was not able to get T5 down until Coil2 was released, but still before echo was introduced. The difficulty in the game is non existent up to a point where it can (subjectively) become fairly complex. However since the the training wheels are never taken off until coil (or a no longer necessary TitanX) many a new player hit a skill wall. Echo of old coil is necessary to get more players or players who are just starting a chance to get to new coil quickly. Perhaps the story coil can give some of these players good footing into the actual coil.
