(Also a non-raider)

I feel like for the next version, if Raiders want to raid the savage version, they have to clear the Previous tier first.

To be more clear:
  • The First raid (Savage) for obvious reasons only needs the Story-mode version to be cleared at worse
  • The Second raid(Savage) however would require players to clear the last floor of the previous raid in Savage.
  • The Third raid (Savage) would likewise have a similar requirement; clearing the last floor of the previous raid in Savage.
The problem I see with this is for people thatstarted raiding when the 2nd/3rd tier is up. In this case I would propose removing the lock on the 2nd tier when the 3rd tier is out (and unlocking the 3rd tier when the next xpac is out) or leaving it as is and use it to test a player's dedication.

The one think i should also say is they when making niche content, expect the results to be scaled down, but as long as they find Clear rates unsatisfactory then nerfs will be inevitable.
