[Dev Team Request] raise the difficulty of 24-man raids to Savage mode.

Exclusively savage? No. Defeats the purpose of the content.
Option for savage? Can get behind that. But I would make it so it's more midcore level stuff though, not for the super-hardcore. In doing so though, I think make Super Savage 4 floors, like Savage, and make them all A3S level difficulty back in its heyday. And make all mechanics instant raid wipe mechanics. And you're locked in at a singular ilvl that is the entry ilvl. ilevel sync would be tailored to unmelded gear stats at that itemlevel (not fully capped stats for that ilvl).

While I agree they should be tad harder then they previously been I don't think they will. They want 24-man raid be accessable by the whole playerbase not just a small % like with Savage mode

I'd make my peace with the ability to unlock a savage, but just realize that means even more dev time and work, on something only a small part of the player base would enjoy or participate in. I've never done a savage anything, personally, and I don't have a reason to. I'm sure plenty of others feel the same, too. If it were me, I'd say just don't worry about making this, and instead, spend time on content and/or fixes that we can all appreciate. There's already savage 8 man, and soon super savage as well. If that's not enough, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe just dip into BnS now and then, if that fills a missing piece for you. A game cant be everything to everyone and still be good. You have to manage your teams well and I feel like savage 24 mans might start to dip into less ideal management of the team.

Well considered most gear your get from Savage, rest of us get through 24 man and upgradable. Although we're late to the party obviously so if you want best gear and first from everyone - you gotta run savage.

Personally I don't care much for it either. I do some savage for kicks and giggles but im not in for BIS

I like the difficulty for the 24-man raids as it stands.

Difficult enough to make sure some people know the fight and do mechanics.
Easy enough to be able to 'save the raid' if a few others screw up.

It's fun to be the one who knows what's going on, helps others, and brings the team back from the brink of disaster in order to get that win.

Group A and C are dead?
Good thing Group B stands for Badass.

Healers up, rest of groups back up, enough DPS to finish off the boss... and it's a win for the good guys!

Make it a bit more difficult... and 'big saves' will never exist.

One mistake and it's over? Well... so much for saving the raid, it's simply impossible.

To me, that's a different way to have fun.
And that way to have fun exists in latest primals and savage content.

There's no reason to make the 24 man raids the same-kind-of-fun as savage stuffs.
Keep it 'kinda difficult' the way it is so that it contains it's own kind of fun that cannot be found elsewhere in the game.
Variety is better.
