Duty Finder implementation for all new trials (ex primals)/raids (coil) during initial release:

I understand initial content release allows hardcore players, premade groups and fc's to get a head start on rewards and progression. I have no issue with this, because at the end of the day they are going to be ahead of the curve anyway due to their efforts and they rightfully deserve to be.

My issue is that alot of small group players and FC's aren't able to run this content w/o jumping through hoops.
-Party finder is a great tool, but players creating the parties have their own requirements. This is their right, but it prevents certain players from joining. Some people don't want to use a voice application, have their own, honestly don't need them, or want to use their computer for voice and console to play.
-Static parties and FC groups are hard to create if everyone is not on the same schedule, and there are numerous FC members left out of FC premades.
-When issues arise and are alleviated such as with Ramuh Ex, attempting to PF content becomes a chore due to the fact numerous players have obtained their desired reward from the content.

There is no reason players should have to wait for the next update or several to DF content and I honestly don't see how having content in DF initially will hurt. Personally, I don't want to and don't want others to be able to just hop in the 2nd Coil and skip to whatever turn they wish without completion of the prior.

As I have heard numerous times, DF is for learning, Premades are for winning.
