Probably partly right. I remember having to stare at the wall when coordinating AoEs mezzes with my fellow raid enchanters because we couldn't look at anything else without lagging. But we also had 72 cats to herd and if there are punishing mechanics constantly multiple members of each group, the raid will fail. So older MMOs relied more on random attacks than the patterns we see in XIV and heavily on boss cues or sometimes just prior knowledge from trial and error. Every raid guild took their assorted strategies to the grave since we were all competing and there wasn't just one true strategy that was always used.
