Zosia, if you didn't like "farming" it after the first clear, you didn't have to.

I've been raiding in MMOs for over 10 years. If I didn't like farm runs like you seem to think raiders don't like, then I wouldn't be doing it. I wouldn't have been doing it. I wouldn't do it in the future.

I've also never had my teams take breaks in between raid patches.

This is the very first game where running the same raid 20 times a week was night required for gear.

If you were tired of Coil in the first two weeks like you claim to have been with normal Alex, maybe raiding isn't for you.
