This is exactly why i left years ago... still a problem

I was hoping they had fixed these issues over the years and maybe you or others had any tips on getting older content done.

Maybe the newer expansions have better story but Ishgard was dreadful drivel. I am going to start Stormblood next week, we shall see.

What issue was needed to be fix? Queue times?

I gave you two tips in my repose: have your FC help you or set up a party finder for the content you want done.
There is also a third tip: counting on the job, you should be able to solo older content at level 80 using the "Undersized Party" feature within the DR settings menu.

The issue is that there is an easy fix for this and i thought that was pretty obvious.

Solution: Prioritize if someone queues up for something the first time, fill his party with Duty Roulette people.

Can't be that hard, now can it?

Easy answer: It can be if no one individually queue's up for it. If there are NO people, how can it fill? This isn't a SE issue, this is a player issue.

You've been away from the game for a while and a few things have changed quite a bit since you left. I would suggest if you want to get that certain extreme done, setup a unsynced party finder group using the Party Finder option, or hop into one already started. (Usually one for Wander's Tails, or WT for short)

Ravana these days can be zerged down pretty darn quickly, so it's a good way to get that done. Ex Primals are usually optional content, and not everyone is gonna be interested in attempting to queue for it, even with roulette involved.

That's not an obvious solution. Other people don't think like you.

As explained by other people within this thread, this is a playerbase issue and not an SE issue. If you want to do older content that is not quickly filled through DF, you have to put some effort in and either network with your FC (or join one if you don't) or us PF.
