Fairly new player to FF14. When I saw this requirement I was like "ugh. annoying."
I'm used to other games where raids
  • needed a regular organized group
  • had many complicated mechanics requiring reading guides and other prep
  • required hours of time every night
  • required many sessions to finish
  • and clearly this was old content so who would want to run it?
I didn't bother looking twice at it, until I **HAD** to do it to finish ARR.

I used Duty Finder and signed up.
  • The groups filled up fast, lots of people running it!
  • All 3 raids were easy.
  • 99% of Mechanics were don't stand in sh!t, kill adds ASAP, follow everyone else and do what they were doing.
  • Finished in 20 minutes
Most dungeons are more complicated.

It was really easy to get done. I think I came away with a minion from it.
