Really hope next savage tier is delayed.

Sorry, but that's not an excuse. It doesn't take that long to watch cutscenes while going through the NM raid. And if you can't find a group that can accommodate you, that's not on the game. You do what you must do, but not rushing is still a solution. And if you must use an alt, that's fine too.

Not every group has the gil, but every group has the freedom to not have to force themselves to buy a full set of crafted gears. If they don't have enough skill and want to use new gears to increase chance of success and don't have the gil, they can farm NM and/or tomestone gears before or while doing Savage.

Clearly you have never done the 3rd or last floor fight week 1 or 2.
Not trying to throw shade but you don't have a single savage mount so don't talk about "skill" or are you gonna tell me this is an alt like most people on the forums? Again, no offense.
Its not even about skill at the point, its just reaching the dps check which you need...you guess it. The gil, you need to buy crap ton of pots and food and that can end up costing more than a whole crafted set together if you keep wiping which...you will because no guides are out to help you.
There comes a point there is nothing you can do skill wise, but gear holding you back.

The value is in other people who are not doing WFR. It's a loss for people who are not world first contenders getting delayed their raid, their tomestone gears, and/or possibly their crafted gears.

Here's a thing, people DO NOT need their tome gear if they're not doing savage. What you gonna use it for? those snoozefest expert dgn's? They can honestly wait a week or 2 to start getting it to farm...ex primals I guess and how are people losing out on their crafted gear? you do know the crafted gear mats is bought with the tomes from the previous tier. They wouldn't have to change that since you'll still be able to buy said gear with it.

It doesn't even have to be 2 weeks, it can just be one week as well.
Still waiting for good reason for why delay is a bad thing.
If anything, as I said before its a benefit because people are actually somewhat gear if, again, you play only in DF.

If the issue is gil then I'm sorry to say but if you didn't manage to make enough gil to get pentamelded crafted gear+buff food+pots to raid day 1, in the 6+ months we've had of this raid tier, then 2 weeks or even 3-4 weeks aren't gonna suddenly fix that anyway.

Not everybody crafts, prices sky rocket on raid supplies on first week 1-4 weeks, you can spend over 5 or more mil(DC dependent) for pots and food for only a tiny amount as well. Its easy to say just save up. 2 weeks will help due to the fact mainly battle content players like myself can farm tomes and sell to crafters as the crafted mats are always from the previous tier tomes which can usually get you 1-2mil easy...so yeah.
2 weeks will help a lot.
