Wasn't new Savage supposed to be easier than first?

A3S accomplished it's mission by people quiting afrer weeks of no result, broken statics and people switching servers.

Because people could not meet DPS checks despite having mostly BiS gear. If you actually been doing these fights or observing them, you would know these fights are more mechanic heavy than DPS check heavy. Of course the DPS checks are still there, but so far not severe like Gordias was.
