This is more or less my stance on the subject as well. I'm certainly not against giving more people the opportunity to experience coil, which is why at the end of the day I'm not terribly upset. My static is finished with second coil, outside of farming a few T9 drops for people who still want stuff (Gotta get that damn coat to drop already), so the nerfs don't directly affect us. However, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit bummed that if we were to go back and do content for whatever reason, it just wouldn't be the same as it was.
If they would just keep normal coil the way it was, savage coil the way it is (which they have so far, thankfully) and introduce an easier story mode coil, I think they would have a decent balance.
Instead, they just kinda ruin the integrity of certain content. Granted it's old and no longer terribly relevant content, but it's still just sort of broken now in a sense to certain groups. Can't please everyone, however, so it is what it is.
