Why dont you use RAID FINDER?

[Colt47]

The reason there is a wave of clears happening almost immediately when content is released and then subsequent parties falter to clear even the easier raid content is because the groups that form up early are the most dedicated. People with less time often aren't able to jump the gun on content so they have to stick to weekend raiding, and then people are skittish to join up because of high ball expectations from an unknown group of people that they are joining with. Also, people eventually want to move beyond practice to simply clearing the fight, and how does someone gauge if they are capable to meet the party makers standards if they have practiced the fight? Some people have made it to 5% and seen all phases while someone else might have made it to 40% and seen all phases. Is that a sign the latter person is worse and less practiced than the person at 5% before clear?

Essentially, the reason why hard content that isn't DF face roll is bad is that it puts people into a mental trap of assumed expectations. The entire premise of this kind of content is built upon the trust of ones companions and the willingness to step forward to do it on a regular schedule. Players and game developers shouldn't expect that this content is doable by parties that have to frequently rebuild and swap people in and out due to conflicting time commitments. Yet here we are in the latest expansion of FFXIV basically stuck in this exact situation. EX fights should be for people that want to raid and don't have the time to dedicate to savage, and that's my own thought on the matter. Make the fight easier, let people get their 355 weapons, and then if they want to go further they can go do savage, or if they'd rather advance some other job, go off and start farming for that jobs gear. Case in point the weapon is iLvL 355 while the tomestone gear and savage gear is 360-370. It's not going to be the end of the world to let people get 355 weapons.
