FUTURE OF FFXIV - I hope different from now

Now, i play together to my GF, we don't have a static now and the game is BORING.It seems to me absolutely limiting restrict the content to static party, the same mistake was made on World of Warcraft, and in fact solved by inserting raid finder, an automatic duty (as the duty finder) that takes you on raids, obviously with the same drop slightly detuned .

The mistake WoW made was giving people the idea that raid content should be something you walk into with a bunch of strangers who all have no idea of mechanics and succeed.

Group content is for casual players who don't want to commit to a static. Raid content is for people who are willing to take the responsibility involved in having X number of people rely on you.

No one who actually played WoW considers LFR "raid content". It's storyline bridging content to get you INTO raid content. Many people here who make disparaging remarks about WoW's tiered system have never played at a high level in that game.

True or not you can't argue that before that system games were not filled with "WTF I CAN'T USE THE LFG TOOL TO DO RAIDS!?!!!?!?!?!?!??!?!!!"

Suddenly people get the idea that they should because "WoW does it!!!" ( I mean that's literally what OP and hundreds of other posts along the same vein have said)

I was around before it was implemented, and most people simply wanted a "story mode" raid, and that's what LFR is, basically. People are still rewarded though with sub-par weapons and armor sets. It is also half of what the real raid has to offer with dumbed down mechanics, so the differences are significant. I'd equate LFR in WoW to CT in XIV, but CT has it's own storyline entirely. And let's face it, CT has some pretty cool armor sets. :P I have not seen a single post requesting a "LFR" tool to do Coil, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Even if they were to do this I truly couldn't care less. I'd get to see the story, the true raiders would get superior gear. I watch the cutscenes on youtube anyway cause I have no real desire to actually raid.
