It really depends if the handful who do day 1 Savage actually enjoy it being available immediately, or if it's more that they enjoy the race itself and the rush to get crafted gear and skip through Normal mode is a necessary sacrifice to enjoy that race. If it's the second, then delaying Savage a week doesn't really hurt anyone.

I think we should be listening to opinions and feedback from actual world first racers, instead of people who barely dabble in Savage or haven't even ran it stating how it should be to dig for upvotes when it doesn't even affect them.
