I can see why someone who dungeons or raids regularly might be mad with the PUGs and frustrated with the nerf. However, Steps of Faith was not designed for raiders. It is story content and therefore should absolutely be casual content. I don't think it's unreasonable to want people to know what they're doing before the queue. It's just that when everyone has to do this trial in order to see the new content in Heavensward, you're going to get a lot of people who don't do dungeons, don't do raids, and don't know what the etiquette is.
It's for this reason I am really glad that they nerfed Steps of Faith. It was a great trial in the sense that it provided a very epic finale. What isn't great about it is its requirement to see the new content. I find it to be a poor choice in general to require anything beyond being level 50 to enjoy the expansion. That is really the source of the frustration though and the reason behind the nerf. Everyone has to do it. No exceptions. So even if you don't give a damn about dungeons, you still have to do it if you want to access new crafting, new abilities, level 60, and new jobs.
