Savage Clear rate being lower the Devs expected, good or a bad thing?

Don't go hating on us, we may be a "vocal minority" but we are all still loyal subscribers, I've really enjoyed the difficulty of Savage so far and I know quite a few others have too. Also a lot of the more casual/mc groups are getting close to clearing Savage now it's just taken a bit longer that the coils did, the clear numbers will probably substantially higher by the end of the year.I don't really see why they can't do three versions, all they have to do is design the savage, nerf the fight a bit for hard mode then nerf the hard mode further for the story, they don't need to be massively different fights, they just have to relax the dps checks and make punishments for messing up mechanics less severe.

Umm... No. The last stats we saw for a4s clears was under 2,000 characters. Things might be getting better locally on your server, but most servers only have 1-2 groups clearing a4s. The only way people are going to get a full savage clear at this point is either by getting better gear or the content is nerfed.

The SREX weapons will help a few groups per server, but we are not going to see clear rates reach above 1% of the player base until there are major nerfs or the content is majorly out geared.
