While it can be a long term farm goal, it has done a lot in helping re-learn raids, and even learn new raids.
It is my understanding these are watered down versions, but the mechanics are there to help you learn.
From my perspective, RF is absolutely fantastic in bridging the gap between new players, returning players, and the experienced vets.
It is sad that more long term players aren't willing to spend time to help educate the new or returning players, instead taking the route of asking them to stand in the corner while talking about their mother.
RF, when with a friendly group is amazing for learning or re-learning encounters and can help peak the interest of new and returning players.
