Patch Notes are up!

Ecc...

Not really. For what it concerns crafting the lower cost of the materials on the broker is already a nerf. Regarding Coil/Primals is basically the same, the basic progression of the gear (Allagan Tomestones) is a nerf of all the previous fights. "Hard content" has to be a challenge, a challenge has to be an obstacle to overcome. Players trying to do Coil and the Trials EX should enjoy themself by breaking these walls, like with sports. If you keep lowering the difficulty of the game, making radical modifications, you will definitely get troubles later on... those "New Players" will never be at the same level of the rest because of their previous experience. All of this will also harm the player base in the endgame. You don't know how many times I saw farm parties in T7 being able to kill Melusine, after the 2.4 patch, just thanks to the nerfs Square Enix applied.

Edit: Can't include the quote to your post because of the maximum characters limit on the forum.

That just means they didn't nerf T7 at the right pace. Imagine if all T's were as hard as they always were. Thanks to older players wanting to move on to newer content, newer players still trying to clear older content would end up hopelessly trying to catch up. The same applies to crafting. It has to have its progression nerfed too - it just means they shouldn't nerf it again for a while. This one is enough for now.
