Unfortunately, the primals are also completely irrelevant, especially in terms of gear now that the UAT weapons are so easy to upgrade with Sands of Time. The only reason to do primals at all is for vanity purposes and for the initial clear. That's basically it.

Coil is too difficult/requires too much commitment for "mainstream" players (and is obviously untouchable for casual players) and the Crystal Tower is incredibly, mind-numbingly easy. We need something in-between that actually gives gear like Coil and the Crystal Tower do. (It can fit pretty neatly in-between as well - if Coil is i110, the mid-core content can be i105, plus sands, oils, and UAT for Soldiery upgrades.)
