You can delay tomes being dropped and awarded for a week and put it in a little hotfix or minipatch for content, you'd just get the older tomes in the meantime, which would still be valuable to farm as they are needed for tome mats to make stuff, so people would still have a reason to run the content as is.

The normal mode drops could stay as they are, there's no issue and you'd just have two pieces of 480 or what have you... you'd still be behind if you didn't have crafted and you'd have to spam normal modes week 2, the first week of savage, to even have that. It'd be for the benefit of crafters to make pots and food and gear. There's literally no reason NOT to do this. It gives smaller statics without DEDICATED crafters the chance to prepare.

Again, you're just a troll or a bitter angry old man/woman if you're against this. No reason not to.
I mean...

I appreciate the fact that people want to both enjoy the story and have time to prepare for Savage, and while I don't think it should be necessary, I do ultimately think that it would be advantageous to force a week-long delay.

That said, I don't think that it's fair to so readily discard the opinions of those that are ready to go on the first week. Not when this problem really could be resolved by people simply identifying what is most important to them and then self-delaying for a week. You're basically telling people that are ready on day one that they need to shut up and wait an extra week because you want to have your cake and eat it too.
