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

It does however need to be properly balanced for normal and hardcore raiders

I'm pretty sure that's basically what Zosia is saying, too. Coil appealed to about 10% of the population, while the current Savage implementation is certainly reaching a smaller number (I don't want to throw out a number since we don't have data for the entire raid cycle yet). That's why the numbers aspect is important, because if the number players engaging with content is too small relative to the development time required for that content, it no longer becomes viable for the dev team to *create* that content.

(I don't want to throw out a number since we don't have data for the entire raid cycle yet).

Even if the number were to double by the end of the cycle we'd be looking at 4000 players with clears. In a game with supposedly 700k subscribers, less than 1% clear rate.
