If not though, what do you think mmo raiding is supposed to be? xD
Troll or not the thread has a point. MMO raids can be and have been more than one boss in a square or circle flat arena with mechanics that are more complex than "stand here" or "don't stand here" or "kill this thing real fast or it's an immediate wipe". Xiv just hasn't explored them outside of a very few encounters.

The fights themselves are surprisingly easier than they're built up to be. If you can do a proper rotation, have the proper gear and consumables, can keep attention and memory up for ~13 minutes straight, and (here's the real wall) can find 7 other people who can do all that and do it consistently AND you all have the time and patience for hours of prog while you all individually learn your own personal ways of dealing with mechanics and recovering from eachother's moments of inconsistency, then you can 100% do ultimates. Especially once it's been a while and guides are out.

Its just the people, time, and patience that are the hard parts. The mechanics themselves are comparatively simple once you know what they're asking of you.
