Are the raid tiers "too hard?"

[Lambdafish]

This has less to do with the model used for raiding and more the westerner over reliance on doing raids with a static and its attitudes towards new people in a fight and the duty finder.

This is not true. Raiding isn't less popular because of the way that western players play, we as a playerbase haven't changed since 2.0 in terms of mentality and coil was a big success for raiding and clear numbers.

Regardless, players will never change, and you can't force them to (look at the raid finder), all the devs can do is build a model that appeals to that attitude that is presented to them.
