Binding Coil can be largely brute-forced now with an unsynched party (or even just a few players) and Omega is on the same difficulty level as MSQ trials and easily cleared through the duty finder. Or you can unsynch that as well.

Not everything in the game labelled a "raid" is synonymous with the high-challenge gameplay activity of "raiding". They learned from the Binding Coil that locking story behind difficult content just means that most people miss out on the story, and raid series since then have had their "story mode" first before moving to the savage versions that the raiders are playing.
yeah, really unless it specifically says savage, they just label them "raids" since there is a larger than 4 people likely going with you. ^^
