Disappointed by Alexander (story) difficulty, fear Savage difficulty

[Gilraen]

I think the 'raid community' is missing the point here (would have quoted but, oh my god so many maligned comments... not gonna) is that the vast majority of players (you know, the 'filthy casuals') didn't touch Coil until it was on the Duty Finder, something that coincided the addition of Echo, and even then still largely avoided it until the 'raid community' had their fill. Square's metrics don't lie, we just hate running 'raid community' content because the 'raid community' acts like they're Gods' Gift to Eorzea. It's not that we can't run the dungeons, we just don't like the 'raid banter' that all too often pops up. "Oh come on, it's not that bad." Personal experience disagrees. Even today, Turn 1, ADS, High Voltage is ignored with healers expected to, "Tough it out." like a party-wide Paralysis isn't even a thing... I lost count of how many wipes that 'thing' has caused. Nothing says fun like having Esuna interrupted repeatedly.

Coil, though, like all Final Fantasy questlines, has a story that people wanted to enjoy. So Square, in a brilliant move I might add, made the starting Alexander accessible (somewhat... il170? Really?). It's my hope that the 'raid community' doesn't try and ruin it for everyone else like they did Coil.
