Why did Raid Finder *replace* Lightkix Eyesfixed?

I honestly don't know of any groups running into trouble with the ilvl thing now with raid finder but I do remember it making things odd in final coil's t13 at the very least.

In my eyes, this will be a serious issue with the next raid tier. Look at A5. They want i215 for it. When we started with A5 after farming SephEx, nobody of us was at i215 or higher. Even as we finished A5 less than the half of our group was i215 or higher.

Well, the only way to enter the current Savage tier up until this point was to have your entire party in the zone and talk to the NPC to enter the instance.

But when the cross-server Party Finder is implemented, it will be impossible for the entire party to be in the zone at the same time. The raid finder, I believe, is the remedy to that solution; and I believe it's the only reason it was added to the game in the first place.
