I must admit, I, too, kinda assumed "static" raiding was meant, not things that can be cleared within a week tops via pugs (Like EX trials/24 man raids/normal modes), as those... do not exactly have a whole bunch of longevity and therefore do not have the community building aspect to them.

As for the numbers on longevity raids, well...final coil clear rate was 4,5 on Gilgamesh IIRC, which was the top server out of all NA and EU combined. About 2% average. Far shot from the japanese chocobo at ~16% and like 10% overall. Unofficial numbers, unfortunately, but it fits the current scenario as well, so it might be valid. There's no doubt the raiding situation looks brighter in the JP bubble, but I'm still disinclined to consider it the core of the game. The core of the game is pug-content IMO.
