Are you happy with the current raiding structure in this game?

Did you ignore what I said? SE Cares.

Cares about what? Currently, all the item level serves is a way of gating content. Either the game does it by preventing entry or players do it by requiring other players to be a specific iLvl before grouping. Outside this, ilvl only serves as a means to provide progression while the level cap is stuck at 50... that and cater to the occasional player who finds it as a way to judge his/her epeen.

Yes, removing the lockout and instituting a gear roll lockout would result in more players attaining gear from Coil. However, it wouldn't actually dramatically impact any ecosystem. It won't impact the economy. It won't impact any special balance that needs to be in place. All it would result is getting more players who are ready for the challenge into Coil more regularly. This doesn't diminish anyone's achievements whatsoever. And lastly, it would keep players playing and paying... which is what SE Cares about. As I said, outside of epeen, what does Coil rewards really work towards?

And if SE Cared in the way you imply, the hunts system would have been reworked by now to purposefully prevent it from being meta-gamed the way it has been.

"SE Cares" - That is the excuse players use as a way to stroke his/her own ego. Yes, they obviously want this type of content to provide some level of accomplishment to players. Making it easy peasy wouldn't provide that. However, the current lockout structure doesn't make it more challenging. It just gates skilled players from getting in on the action <--- this is a bad thing.

Carrying will happen. It does happen. You won't get around it. However, due to the nature and difficulty of coil... how many players are really going to be carried through on each run for it to be successful.
