Put The Binding Coils on Raid Roulette

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

Well, it's been nerfed to kingdom come, except for the final fights of each tier, so you won't be able to do it as intended.

Thats exactly whats desired. The easy parts that lead up to the brutal boss fights.
Exactly as designed, exactly as intended.

then best of luck trying to get through it

"why not at least put it in a roulette so at least 1st timers have a chance at it"
Because, unlike all other 8-man raids, there's only one difficulty level for the Coils of Bahamut, and It isn't Easy, at all. Putting this in a roulette will require a pretty good reward that worths all the wipes you'll suffer before clearing the selected Duty. And not even that will prevent the big amount of ragequitting that will happen

If your friend is in it for the story, then I would just take care of it with an undersized party. If you go that route, you could just sync the final fights of each tier to help speed things along while also taking on very challenging encounters; you also might have more luck as the players who are willing to help are more likely to do so for the final fights, but I would try to find an acceptable compromise as it is a lot of battles you're talking about.

As for putting them in a roulette, this won't happen unless a team goes in and tunes them to fit normal mode difficulty. Coils unfortunately came at a time when the devs still had a steep learning curve to get past, and part of the reason why we have NM raids now is because Coils didn't have them then.

All of them can be soloed at level 80; all but 2 or 3 of them extremely easily at that.

If you don't want to wait, put up a PF announcing you have a first time bonus; you'll eventually get a level 80 that wants the poetics. Warn him that you're watching the cutscenes, if you intend to.

COils needs to stay out of roulette. I don't want to see it nerf because that is exactly what will happen. Just like my boy TG from Orbanne.

As for your PF woes, I mean depends on the time of day you put up PF on Aether. I seen a handful of PF for BCoB synced for first timers. It takes a good few hours to run it if you include cutscenes and such. Maybe PF in chunks like T1-T4 and so on. Because its definitely not an easy raid at ilvl sync if you don't know what you are doing. But if you are trying to do it now it may not be the best since the Yokai event is going and the Rising Event is about to hit as well.

What you're asking for is impossible, and nothing SE does will ever change that. You just have to accept the fact that the content is very very old and very very difficult. Either suck it up and do it unsynced, advertising in PF that you have first-time bonus and will be watching cutscenes, or if you have your heart set on doing it the hard way, be prepared for a long wait and a lot of frustration along the way. It IS still possible to run them synced and get something approaching the original experience of the content, but finding those few people out there who are willing to help you is going to be a tall order and require a lot of work and patience on your part. What you're asking is an extremely unpopular method of doing the content, and you'll just have to accept that when you want to do things in an unorthodox way, you're going to have to put in more effort to find people to help you.

If you want to do the raid as intended then you have to put together a raid group like people did when it was new. You can't expect to clear end game raids with first timers who don't watch guides and don't talk in voice chat, which is what you'll find in RF and DF. Many random groups can't even do extreme trials within the duty timer. That's why there are practice groups for different phases.

Putting Coils in the raid roulette will not accomplish what you want. It will not allow your friend to clear the bosses one by one with competent people. Instead, your friend will see dozens of groups fall apart until he gives up, and many players will have their roulette queue wasted on this.

So, please make a raid group. There are discord servers where you can find like-minded players.

We just simply want to play.
Putting Coils on the Roulette would accomplish just that.

Not asking for an easy clear, just asking to be able to play old content without jumping through 7 hoops if possible

This will not work as you expect. I guarantee that people will just leave if they get a synced BCOB in a normal raid roulette.
