Let me correct you on this: the forum community thinks that these fights are too much for DUTY FINDER ROULETTES. Not that they’re particularly hard. And, frankly, defining them as too hard for DF is fairly reasonable, given how much people have complained on here in the past about normal mode trials and 24-mans being too hard to do: people on here spent weeks during HW claiming that Weeping City was too hard. That Final Steps of Faith was too hard (story mode, not EX). That Dun Scaith was too hard. That Rabanastre was too hard (Hashmal, specifically). That Construct 7 in Ridorana was too hard. That Castrum Fluminis was too hard. That the Will of the Moon and Requiem for Heroes MSQ solo instances were too hard. That Orbonne Monastery was too hard (again: only 24-man raid to receive automatic +10% Echo).

I never thought the Coils were overly complicated when I did them in HW, and I don’t think they’re hard now. But I also recognize that my definitions of “hard” and “easy” vary substantially from other people’s definitions. I raid Savage. I do Ultimate fights. Of course, I don’t think Coil is hard. But most players in DF don’t raid Savage or do Ultimate, so their definitions are likely going to be different from mine. Based on what the forum does classify as “hard content”, I’m sure Coil would fall in the same boat.

The average skill level of DF is not as terrible as people are claiming. For every wipe or disband there are many more clears across all content (sans savage content when first implemented but this changes over time.)
I still disagree with this. I don’t think very highly of the average skill level of DF. Not when you still get DPS that refuse to AOE, healers that refuse to DPS, tanks that refuse to pop cooldowns for busters, and people that die to the same mechanic three times in a row.
