no, they are asking for something at a similar difficulty level than coil, and with rewards on the same ilvl, but drops allagan sands/oils.
But there's the problem you see, top tier gear should only come from the hardest challenges in the game and for just about every MMO i've ever played the hardest content is a raid.
and those games also have multiple raids, not just one. they also have a good bit of horizontal progression, mixing and matching, min-maxing.
Just because something takes a long time to get doesn't make it hard content. The atma farming is a lengthy process for example but would anyone actually call it hard? Hell no.
the same can be said of grinding coil. do you have it on farm? yes. is it hard? not any more! once you have content down to a science it no longer becomes difficult. its just a one-hour grind with a weekly lockout. just look at the first coil, if even if we took echo off, it wouldn't be considered hard, because almost everyone knows the content.
