Can we please delay Savage?

[Barraind]

especially considering it already gets delayed at expansion launches and no one really seems to mind

Uh, the general consensus is that the .0 - .05 patches are the absolute worst in terms of things to do, and that .05-.1 is only slightly better.

People already generally hate the idea of delaying the 1/3 of savage tiers, yes.

competitive raiders must sacrifice their enjoyment in other parts of the game in order to sustain their activities

EVERYONE has to do this at different times, its a nonsense argument. You cant play on Crystal and expect to find a group that raids on Hawaii time. You cant be a crafter and make day 1 patch money and simultaneously raid world firsts (which you sure as hell can do in other games) without having external sources of mats. You cant simultaneously be a PvP'er and enjoy the PvP system.

If you arent doing the content minute 1 in a race to world first, it has zero impact on you except you potentially have to log on 10 minutes earlier or extend your day 1 raiding 10 minutes.

Theres still no argument on the table that justifies delaying content for the majority of players so a small fraction of a small fraction of a few players can feel like they arent rushed watching 10 minutes of cutscenes right away when their goal is doing something completely different.
