Sorry my dear but that and only that IS raiding.
I don't consider hopping into void ark or clearing Alex normal with DF randoms "raiding".

Raiding is done with a guild or a cooperation of guilds with an as static roster as possible an progress that spans over weeks if not months. That only applies to raiding savage/extremes(to a lesser extent) because everything else can be cleared with PuGs in one session.

It's no secret that the actual raiding content in FF has always been "barebones" and few in Encounter numbers. Which is why I perceive FF-XIV as a lot less raidcentric compared to WoW.

I do agree that the content for the lesser skilled but still organized "midcore" segment (comparable to WoWs heroic (former normal mode) raids) is currently missing, or rather underserved by getting one extreme mode primal per patch.
