So, can we just ban damage meters already.

Bahamut is much, much easier than normal Eden. The only difficulty back then was servers at the other end of the world, and people being simply bad, both at playing their classes, and at doing mechanics.

The difficulty actually almost always went upwards, and right now, the game is not easy, the playerbase is just good. "gnngnn, but the dude I ran into in E11N last night", yes. There are bad players. That doesn't change the fact E11N is harder than Phenix, for example.

This just shows that you've never run any of the Coil raids when they were current content, or pre-nerf (mainly second coil getting a bunch of nerfs)

Sure, current day savage is harder than Coil, but the normal modes definitely aren't. Coil's difficulty is even the reason why normal mode exists, because players complained that they couldn't experience the raid story.
