Can we please delay Savage?

I understand the Issue with World Racers but I can't figure out what you get for a Week 1 clear, especially if you actually don't have the proper time due work for it. Why do you still force yourself that much that it even ruins your actual game experience by skipping through the content just to make it in time? "Because the content is more challenging in Week 1/2 then in 3?" Why is that? Because you have more Stones then? But wouldn't it be the same if Savage was delayed but not the Stones?

As someone who is PFing, if you miss the first week, even the first day, you've lost any chance at all to at least try the fights blind and work the mechanics out. I didn't get to start raiding this week till Thursday and despite labelling the party as a blind learning, we had people put waymarks down and explain stuff within one pull. Even for statics, word gets around fast and hearing about strats or memes that have come from the fights can ultimately cause people to get spoiled on mechanics they wanted to experience and figure out.

I don't think anyone particularly cares about the issue of extra tomes, one i490 piece will make hardly any difference and you'd have to cap before raid to get chest or legs which again, won't give you a huge advantage over just having penta melded crafted gear.

How anything of this could be solved if Savage was postponed one week? It would be the same situation... just one week later.

Because as others have said, many people are too busy on the first day Savage comes out crafting, trying to rush through all the content after they finish work or have other commitments that stop them being able to enjoy all the content that comes out on day 1. If you only care about Savage raiding then sure, maybe it's not a big deal to skip the other things this game has to offer, but a lot of people play this game because it's Final Fantasy. They want to enjoy the story. By having Savage come out on the same day as a bunch of other things, you're forcing some people to make a choice that doesn't need to exist.

Regarding spoilers for stuff, well yeah, I'm not saying spoilers aren't still gonna happen day 1, but the point is with Savage being on it's own release date, everyone has a chance to get stuck in sooner. The sooner everyone can start, the less they will get spoiled on things. When statics or PF raiders can't get started till a day or two later because other content/commitments, they get subjected to people who just want to explain all the mechanics without giving people a chance to enjoy it blind. People also might be less willing to spoil content when they don't feel like they're having to play catch up with the other groups/PF raiders who skipped all the other content to start straight away.
