    I helped an FC mate that way before Shb came out
    We want to actually run it synced, not power through it unsynced.
    The idea is to play it as intended, not just simply get a clear.

    Ok, then. Just keep trying with PF/FC/LS/FS/friends. I was actually able to do T1 once when I queued solo because a group of 7 people actually queued at the same time.

    Im already trying to get in with a friend. Every other friend and my FC mates are on Break from the game and are unavailable.
    And I dont know any of them personally so I cant just call or message them to ask them if they can run Binding Coils so my friend here whos never done it can play it.
    Only linkshell Im in is dead unless a hunt is active, then its like they deactivate it and ignore it.

    So, we are literally stuck mate. Might get lucky, but this day we are not

    1) They aren't on the roulette, nor should they be on the roulette, because it's basically savage level content; it was the "endgame" level raid back in 2.x

    2) It's impossible to run this content anymore as "originally intended" anyway. Even if you manage to get a minimum ilvl group going (one that's actually good enough to clear the fight, for that matter) the fights are still going to be way different (and overall easier) from when 2.x was current simply due to the multitude of job adjustments that have taken place since, most of which are for the better overall if I'm not mistaken.

    3) I can also tell you that even if these ended up in the raid roulette, many people would just bail when they come up, similar to what they already do with many of the harder extreme trials.

    What I mean by this, is playing it Synced to what...ilv130?
    And not playing it unsynced with lv400-500 gear.

    If you want to experience it like it was intended you have to use at least the min. iLvl option, the level sync alone is far off from the original difficulty also some mechanics got changed when the fights went from current raid tier to publicly open due to their difficulty and complexity a PUG wont be able to handle on the fly.
    Also with all the buffs to the jobs, even on lower levels, the fight difficulty is not compareable anymore and the level sync puts you on ilvl 135 which overgears every fight not just by a slight marging but just into oblivion.

    ^ Pretty much all these points. If they were put into raid roulette, you'd have people insta-quitting instead of wasting 90 minutes trying to achieve the small reward raid roulette gives, because like 99% of groups would not be able to complete any turn T5 or above due to difficulty. If you truly want to run them synced for one reason or another, your best bet is to advertise on the FF14 reddit's LFG subreddit, or look for like minded people on your datacenter in big discords like the balance or the FF14 reddit discord. There are people out there that are interested in running coils synced for fun, but they're extremely rare and few & far between, compared to the immense amount of people that -would- run them, but only unsynched.

    You'll either have to put in the effort of finding them, or have to run the coils unsynched.

    The only way Coil will ever be put in Roulette is if SE nerf the fights to be as easy as the Alexander/Omega/Eden Normal raids.

    I could see them doing that sometime in the future if they felt the need to, or at least copy it and make an easier version. Though that makes me wonder...if they were to call the regular version we have now Savage, what would they call the Second Coil Savage we currently have? Insane?

    This is basically the same as putting savage fights in raid roulette.

    Terrible idea.
