Savage is way to hard nerf it please!

However, when people have to Pug due to no time for a static and spend 5hours a day in Pf when they have free time in an attempt to get 1 re clear and parties disband after another because people can’t do mechs, that is a problem. I shouldn’t have to be told well then savage isn’t for you if I know the mechs, just because I can’t do a static doesn’t mean I should have to waste my time and never prog in the triad because I can’t get re-clears.

I don't really understand this weird idea that people who have less time have to pug instead of getting a static. Pugging actually takes way more time, because of all the waiting around to fill up, constant disbanding and progression/kills taking longer due to having no consistency.

A static does not mean you need to raid 4 hours every day or something - depending on the static you could raid a lot or very little, it's only about playing with the same group of people every time.
Having unstable work/life schedule might seem like an issue, but you can actually have a static that sets raid days/hours on a week-to-week basis, depending on when is everyone available - I've actually done Sigmascape like this and while it's not as comfy as a proper, fixed schedule, it can certainly work and is miles better than pugging. You still get the benefits of not having to waste time waiting in PF, know you can depend on the people you raid with and can use consistent strats that you all agreed on and know well.

If you can't find a static that fits your preferences - make one. Ask your FC members, your friends, look around on recruitment discords like ERC etc. You can even try setting something up with people you've met in PF, if you get lucky once in a while and find some decent players.
You just need to understand that a static like this might not have top performance(although tbh most statics don't anyways) - but it will still be better than pf, because of no waiting and consistency, as well as ability to work through any issues together.

This. So much.
People seem to think a static has to raid 3-4 times a week for 3h minimum when in fact there are statics who raid only 1-2 times per week with the days set on week-to-week basis. There are statics for people who work shifts, late, early etc. Plenty of statics raid for 2hours, they start a little later so everyone get eat, rest a bit etc. and stop a little sooner so everyone gets enough sleep/ has some free time before bed.
Everyone in my static has a full time job, some of them working in shifts, some self-employed with sometimes VERY tight and busy schedules.

Pugging can be fun in its own way and sometimes you get lucky and have some fantastic reclear parties who are in and out within an hour but other times you have bad luck and people wipe to the easiest mechanics. Best you can do is FL the people who played well and stick with them. And you know what? Suddenly you have a static without a fixed schedule.
It's not like you're the only person on this world to have this problem. Savage isn't too hard, many people pug it just fine and if you can't, then take the initiative and work around it.
