If you think that many of the first groups that cleared coil weren't alt farming gear or bashing their heads against the wall for hours upon hours of time then you are sorely mistaken, this is what makes them hardcore.
Honestly, you need to find a better way to say what you're trying to say in that bit you quoted of yourself. I have no idea what you're trying to say there. I said nothing about getting burned out. The lockout is in place to keep people from getting overgeared too quickly.

Basically what you're saying is that you have too many friends and can't run end-game content with all of them. That's just something you're going to have to deal with. Find other content for all your friends. Do treasure hunts. Run Crystal Tower. Do PvP. Run Extreme primals. Coil isn't the only thing to do.
