Lets face it though, if you don't have the luxury of time the raids in this game probably aren't for you.

But thats silly anyway, everyone in my static is in full time employment, lawyers, designer, programmers etc one guy even has a wife and kids on top of that, we still manage our time well enough to be on the last 10% of A7S.

Did you want a medal? These changes were likely implemented for the groups who've been stuck in the fight due to the difficulty of the first few bosses in the encounter causing time to be wasted. Some groups emply vastly different strategies that might cause different problems or cause zero problems. Half my server's raid scene is still in there working on mostly vortexer and swindler, and I'm sure if I asked, most of them would probably tell me the reason that's still the case is because of all the crap that can happen before you even reach those nerds.

Normal Mode could have been for that, but instead it's DF-level for a weekly clear to get gear pieces.

To be honest i thought we were talking about going back to raids with Echo, being as you replied to my comment about Echo. But I follow you now, surely if you want to raid and you have no free time you go into these thing expecting this? Raiding is a big time sink, there's not a lot you can do about that. I only raid for 7-10 hours a week (varies week by week) if I had less time than that I wouldn't raid.
