It may be new content to new players, but they're not running on their own. They're running with experienced players with higher levels and wearing better gears than what were available when those old raids were new. Even Orbonne has been a lot easier to do before the nerf to Cid, and they still nerfed Cid.

So the idea of old content being easier is bad for new players is not shared by the developers. There may be as many people who are likely to quit if the raids were harder. I don't know.
I don't mind old content being easier for new players but new players also need to learn and just have fun in general. There is no need to make old raids as hard as the latest raids but what really bothers here is skipping mechanics. Things just die waaay too fast.

Make it easier, make some mechanics easier, remove some like I said before in this thread, but let us still experience them. Sure they will be easy, especially for old players but they will allow new players to learn. Right now all they can learn is that you can just run through and ignore anything that's happening cuz the boss will die fast anyway.
