Sure, let's deny the option for the whole playerbase because of that...fun be damned !

Why not removing ex primals then ? After all, their reward are always lower than savage, thus, not BiS, and thus totally gimping your character, right ?
As a heads up getting sarcastic and condescending when you are also demonstrating a truly hopeless lack of understanding and information only serves to make you look really, really ignorant.

As far as I'm concerned many people have much larger hurdles to overcome to put out respectable dps in any content (Savage or otherwise) than poor gearing or materia choices. If you aren't performing something akin to the correct rotation or prioritization for your class that should be your primary concern, though extreme examples like a 3k sks build on a MCH (where you are actually hurting your damage instead of just not helping it) may deserve special consideration.

If you think only Savage has enrages you are very, very wrong on that front as well. We see enrage mechanics as early as Ifrit's nail and throughout content as we progress through the game. There are dps checks to save specific party members (Gaols on Titan and Susano, healer chains in Gilgamesh and Baelsar's Wall) and ones that require group dps to be high enough to avoid ultimate attacks which have only become more and more common throughout Stormblood like most 24man add phases and even dungeon boss mechanics like the end of Ala Mhigo. The end result is the same - do the required damage in the predetermined amount of time (so Damage Per Second) or you die.

You are making all of those things harder on yourself (and your parties) by deliberately going against the best choices for your class. This is bad. It should not be seen as equal to striving for BiS. It isn't.

As for EX primals you show your ignorance again - EX primals released on raid patches like Byakko and Suzaku will have weapons that are generally BiS to enter the new raid tier with and in many cases will remain BiS as a group progresses for quite some time. Even if a static clears turn 2 during week 1 and every week thereafter it will still be 7 weeks for everyone to receive the new tomestone weapon key (for 4.2 was Prototype Tomestone) or save up the requisite turn 4 normal raid drop item (so Sigmascape Crystalloid) to get the new tome weapon. Depending on substats that new weapon may not even be an upgrade on the EX primal drop.

Is there anything else you want to be wrong about?
