IMO the first two tiers of savage have been extremely midcore all of Stormblood. I always just pug em up as if I would an ex trial and it usually takes the same amount of time to clear. Shinryu and Thordan were outliers even compared to savage, more like 2.5s or arguably even on the same difficulty as 3. I think there's an equal amount of MC as harder content, it's casual content that there is disproportionately too much of. At the very least they could add hard mode dungeons or something. I know it's a casual game but still...
