So, well said - thank you very much for that!
Awh, you're welcome. :3 <3

I know I'm probably in the minority, but I enjoy a lot of the older content. My favorite 24-man is World of Darkness--the music, the scenery, I love every aspect of it. I like the entire CT series as a whole, and even if I don't need to run them, I frequently join my friends if they are doing the Archmagus quest, or doing them for WT. Sometimes I'll just queue for them solo if I feel like running them. I'm always down for some Tower.

Same thing goes for Coil. I don't think there's a Turn I dislike (we don't count T3 here), although I don't remember much of T6 and T7, but that's because I haven't been in those turns as frequently as some of the others. And T13 is my favorite fight in the game (actually tied with Sophia because that music though). If any of my friends say they're gonna run T13 for whatever reason, I immediately say "Invite me. Invite me now, please." Even unsynced at 60 I love it. I have tanked it, healed it, and DPS'd it. My favorite is just eating Ahk Morns with the tank on my BRD. I can usually live if the healer heals me, and then I pop Second Wind in time (really helps if it crits, too). But if I die, I'm just like "I don't even care; that was amazing." A friend and I are working on two-manning it with WAR/SCH (maybe WAR/Noct AST) when we aren't tied up with other things. Just for funnsies.

I farm Coil often. I farmed it for aetherstones. I tried farming T9 for the actual High Allagan tank coat, but it never dropped, and the groups I find are very hit or miss with T9, so I prefer to go with friends who I know won't be dumb with the meteors or golems. I farmed the heck out of T5 and T13 when I learned about the Answers orchestrion roll. I was like "I don't care if this is the only orchestrion roll I ever get; I need this in my life."

These reasons are why I'm so baffled by the OP. Aside from his lack of grammar and proper sentence structure. I don't understand what he thinks nerfing or retuning Coil is going to do. A retune or super-nerf doesn't guarantee that people will queue for it via DF. A lot of new players don't even know about Coil; I know I didn't when I first started playing. Then I met my old FC mates, and would hear them talk about "Coil" and "Turn X" and I finally asked what that was. If anything, I don't think much would change between how Coil DF queues are now, and how they would be if it was reworked.

I don't know why he keeps insisting that they're irrelevant when clearly they are not. If, for the very least, the story behind it. I stopped paying attention to Alexander's story because it just paled in comparison to Coil, tbh. Plus, SAM and RDM are going to be level 50, so that Dreadwyrm gear is going to be pretty handy for leveling at least to 55/56.

I also can't understand them half of the time because they say one thing, and then two posts later contradict themselves. Plus, they keep using the word "uber" and I'm just like "Stop. That stopped being cool back when I was in middle school." Which was quite a while ago! They talk as if they've been playing the game for years, but they're still a relatively new character. I know I talk about how Coil used to be, but that's only because I've heard stories from my friends that would raid it back in ARR. I wish I could have experienced it.

I'm also just tired of people demanding that anything that requires even a fraction of a millimeter of effort from them be nerfed. Like I'm still boggled by the "Please nerf PotD Floor 50 boss fight" thread. I don't want to raid in 4.0 for the shinies. I want to raid for the challenge; for pushing myself and my job I choose to raid with to it's highest potential. The shinies are just extras.


My post has drawled on long enough. It may or may not be organized/make sense because I'm really, really tired right now. XD But, until tomorrow, my friends. o7
