    People who are unwilling or incapable of putting effort in still aren't going to be clearing Second Coil; they still have trouble with Titan (Hard). These nerfs aren't an auto-win like some people are making them out to be, I really doubt you can go in blind to t7 and not have to learn the mechanics because of these changes. Perhaps you can learn them faster, but you certainly will have to become aware of them regardless.

    Not being able to experience the original version is a shame, but that's part and parcel of progression in an MMO. Will you complain when Heavensward comes around and the majority of older content becomes easier as we're Lv60 with new skills? I hope not, because that's just how MMOs are. All you can really do is not let it happen again.

    And no, the drops are not cheapened by the content being easier. They're cheapened by the fact that they're not the highest tier anymore; if you buy Ironworks Armor of Fending, then go do Second Coil and obtain a Heavy High Allagan Coat, is simply is never going to feel as rewarding as it was for the first people to go through Second Coil, even if SE never touched Second Coil outside an Echo buff. The drops are cheapened because they're simply not as good anymore, they're vanity rather than potential BiS. The only thing these changes have done is cheapen the accomplishment of clearing the content, the drops are completely irrelevant. If you want a feeling of accomplishment for clearing challenging content, Savage mode is still completely untouched.
