Do the devs know what they really want to do with raids ?

[Marxam]

they could do what they did with scob and implement "timed phases". Yes I know it made turns like t7 hard, if not harder than t9 in some instances but back then dps wasn't an issue. Properly doing mechanics was wayy more important and you even had to stop dps all together in some fights. Imo scob was the best tuned raid so far in terms of difficulty, player and team responsibility and interesting mechanics.

Making the same gear but dyable is not enough incentive for me to follow a raid schedule. Unless they find some way for making statics more flexible to allow more people to get in, Savage will always have lower than expected numbers. I quit raiding after ARR due to this reason. Plus I hate the goblins and the current story arc atm. Really SE!? Illuminati? you couldn't have made a more interesting story like Alexander awakening after finding out Bahamut was slain? In FF9 he fought Bahamut.
