The "raids" in FFXIV are trials. They are single boss encounters like a trial. I know the devs were disheartened when people found an easier way to run Coils, but I think raids would have been more enjoyable if they were proper raids and not trials, labelled as raids.

I remember running Kharazan back in The Burning Crusade and you could get three bosses down in one raiding night. You all leave and come back to the raid to complete more of the raid later in the week. The "raids" in FFXIV are nothing like that . You just wipe on the boss, learn where you need to stand to not die, pummel the boss through their ridiculous amount of health and that's it.

I think more could be done to make raids, raids and less like a hard trial fight.
