Nerfing old content and FF players?

[xvshanevx]

What is with FF players and clinging so hard onto keeping old content difficult?

I simply don't understand why so many players in this game want EVERYTHING to crush them.

Ya had SCoB Savage and FCoB, and now you have Alexander Savage. Why can't you let us just nerf old content so it is soloable? WHY MUST YOU ALL CLING SO HARD TO THE PAST!?

Oh, and you also have item levelsynch...

Everything? 90% of the content in this game is incredibly easy. I don't think I've seen any threads of people asking for old content to remain difficult either, at least not recently.

Maybe in like five years or something this stuff could be soloable but...
one its not required and two this is an mmo, where you do things with people. Already coil can be like, two-manned if you do it properly.

OP must be having a hard time clearing T9 #dontlikemechanicsorsomethin?

There should be easy content and hard content. Everyone, including casuals, would get bored if they nerfed old content.

I don't know what it is your complaining about? But I would simply suggest that you take some effort, put together a team, and complete whatever content it is you want to complete. Instead of asking the devs to let you win. Only Blizzard's MMOs are suppose to just let you win.

If you're having an issue clearing old content Undersized/Echo perhaps you should go back to playing Angry Birds.

There isn't too much in the game that would be considered very difficult. I, for one, don't really favor the idea of making things easier because...well the good thing is, you can level up multiple classes with one character. You can revisit those old times. And you can help new players with those old times. I've seen games turn into spoon feeding devices and they don't work out. New players won't stick around because it doesn't feel like you accomplish anything and you zoom right through content, and old players feel a bit robbed of the efforts they put in.

My three main reasons are...

1) I like a challenge. I love other aspects of the game, but one of my biggest complaints about certain dungeons, especially those that had returning enemies from past FF games (such as Demon Wall) was that they were laughably easy when compared to their past selves or storyline explanations. At least, they were after they were nerfed.

2) While we did have Coil, imagine what it would be like if we had to go through the entire main story and side dungeons as easy content just to reach something that provided a challenge. I would imagine that many, many players would have quit before ever reaching Coil.


3) I won't and can't speak for the entire community here, but a broad statement is incoming. A lot of players who are only used to eaiser content get gigantic ego boosts when they clear harder raids. Players that sort of get carried through have a way of gloating about clearing it afterwards. Players that know what it's like to get Ravensbeaked to death? Not so much. At least, not in my experience.

But Coil is already nerfed to hell with unsync and echo. What are you saying?
