Why I have no interest in Coils more specifically, T9.

Anyone who says that raid content should only be able to be completed by a few is utterly kidding themselves. Should there be a challenge in raids? Yes. Should you be able to get a clear within the first run? No (Unless you are epic). Should everyone be able to clear it? Yes, ultimately everyone wants to do raids. Some people don't care about the rewards, some do. Some people want the story (because face it, anyway you cut it this is a FINAL FANTASY GAME WHERE STORY MATTERS, and people want that. Locking out a raid to the populace due to making it too much of a memory game, or essentially forcing 3rd party applications (voice chat) is not good development, period. You cannot argue that, anyone who has business/entertainment knowledge would agree, its poor game design to essentially force upon your player to use a 3rd party tool to assist them, and please don't tell me that VC is not required in PUGs, all the clears I got with my character had VC and it made the fight ridiculously easy, because its too much (moves are happening much faster) than what you can type AND react to the moves yourself.


Now things that only a few people should be able to do? Take down big bad NMs to use examples from FFXI: Pandemonium Warden and Absolute Virtue. Those two bosses in FFXI had 0 zero story element and were near to impossible to beat (the first one took 18+ hours to get to low HP and they still couldn't beat it cause people were getting sick and such), Absolute Virtue was released in the 2nd expansion and continued to be near to impossible to beat for the next 5 years or so. Those are things that only a few should be able to beat, however raids...everyone should be able to beat it, and they should be able to do it without the assistance of 3rd party software.
