Can we please delay Savage?

I get the feeling responses like this are coming from individuals who either don’t raid or who can’t comprehend what’s actually being requested here.

Nope, never had 4 am calls of "servers up, log in", doing that to get kills, and then going to work at a normal time the next day before raiding all night. Never prayed to every imaginable god that our servers wouldnt lag like crazy / crash all day Tuesday when we had achievement runs to do. Never had to tank an add on a single boss for 6+ hours with no break because we didnt want the encounter to fully reset. Never had to do an expansions worth of level grinding to get week 1 raid kills in, because MMO's actually used to launch expansions with the raid content enabled on launch. Never compared timestamps on IRC messages with the other world first racing guilds to track who killed what bosses first, because aint nobody releasing videos, because that would get you removed from guilds.

People obviously havent been racing for world firsts (both content clears and achievements) in MMO's for decades, so I wouldnt have any clue how it works.

Staggering content is stupid. Its always been stupid. Itll always be stupid.

Release it all on launch and let those who are determined enough to do it first do it first, and everyone else can play catchup.
