Can we please delay Savage?

[Valorak]

There is a difference between "I do not have enough free time for savage" and "competitive raiders have to skip cutscenes to stay competitive". The first one is purely a life circumstance, the other is the form of content release being punishing to a certain type of player regardless of their life circumstance. Even if you have patch day off it's still rush rush rush, especially if you are also crafting and gathering for gear.

That's true, the comparison isn't perfect. That said, it's still just a problem derived from lack of time.

In a perfect world they could have it both ways without negatively affecting others, but that's unfortunately not the case here. That's why I'd be happy with whatever side is the true majority (if the devs decided to measure and adhere to that).

These aren't actually my problems. I'm a casual raider. The proposed content release delay will have little to no affect on me. However in the past I was a hardcore raider in another game so I can very easily empathise with those who feel the current form of content release is stressful and actually negatively impacts storytelling.

OP's desired content release pattern already happens at expansion launch. If SE can do it then, then they can do it for other patches as well. OP isn't asking for something the game hasn't seen before.

The fact that the delay happens at the start of the expansion doesn't really negate the fact that this delay would cause problems for people during the ensuing patches.

I did not personally accuse you of anything. Read it again:

Oh I don't really care if you were accusing me personally or if it was just towards people in general. My point was that you (and too many other people in here) are making those types of accusations and asking for understanding or empathy, but then you turn around and wave away the notion that any problems with the delay are legitimate.

I'm not sure if it's a self-awareness blind spot or if people are just being actively selfish. Either way, I think it's hypocritical to request empathy when there isn't any being given in return.
