Can we please delay Savage?

But I asked you so... yeah. 8)

If you're not going to be impartial, I can only assume you don't have a serious argument. I guess we're done here.

This keeps being brought up, thus please explain how anyone is punished were Savage delayed by a week or even a couple days. Such a delay only impacts hardcore or World racing groups as anyone else will not be clearing quickly enough for it to matter.

Content being purposely and arbitrarily delayed results in having to wait longer to experience new content. Isn't the source of disappointment obvious? Have you not ever had some game, movie, TV show, or whatever delayed and experienced disappointment because you were anticipating it?

Experiencing new content is not all about getting the clear. For many people having a new raid simply represents having something new to do in the game, even if they aren't winning it right away.

Considering those players are the ones asking for this delay, how exactly are they being punished?

Hardcores that want more time to clear MSQ/normal/whatever do not speak for all hardcores, even if that's what they're trying to do by pushing their desires in front of everyone else who (reasonably) wants to see new content when it is actually ready to be released.

Anyone who can't wait one extra week is way too impatient. We already wait several months for content. Certainly competitive players who finish tiers early wait a super long time until new hardcore content comes to the game. If they can wait several months, then they can easily wait one more week. It's not that big a deal.

What is a big deal though is forcing your hardcore playerbase to get all their stuff together in one day, and anyone who dares to have life things like a job or an education are automatically at a disadvantage because they can't no-life a game for an entire day on a weekday.

Delaying savage by a week puts hardcore teams on more equal footing, while also allowing them to have time to enjoy the other patch content and prepare for hardcore content without needing to rush like crazy and skip things.

Most hardcore players enjoy many types of content. Why not let them do that in a way that doesn't interfere with their savage progress? Everyone benefits from this.
