Really hope next savage tier is delayed.

See, if pushing week 1 means all of that, it sounds like your group would benefit from not pushing week 1. I'm not sure what it is about week 1 that is so magical that if you don't clear it then somehow your group would feel less accomplished because of it, especially if you're saying your group is willing to have Savage delayed behind Normal. I get that schedules don't always align, but I also think that a static should have the ability of making a schedule that can benefit everyone given everyone's availability.

It may not be a big deal for the people in the group, but for someone who doesn't do Savage content, it is a bigger deal* for me as it means 1 or more week for tomestone acquisition and it is part of what I look forward to in the patch.

The first tier had an entire new expansion with two new tomestones (uncapped with the expansion and capped with the Savage release 4 weeks later). The subsequent tiers will only have new capped tomestone, which I strongly believe will be delayed along with Savage if Savage is delayed (along with crafted gears).

* Obviously I will accept the change begrudgingly if they do delay subsequent tiers' Savage, but as long as we're stating our opinions, then I don't want it delayed.

I don't don't savage day one, but this is my opinion:

The idea of delaying one week savage opening is to give everyone, interested in that race, a fair chance. There is no need to also delay new tomes or crafted gear, since everyone has also access to both.

I have a hard time imagining why anyone will be against a change like that, outside probably crafters since a change like this has the potential to devalue, even more, crafted gear.

There is a reason to delay tomestones. Since this change is supposedly to give everyone a fair chance not delaying tomestones means that people who have the time can cap their tomestones right after reset, allowing them to get 900 tomestones in total before even stepping into the raid.


In regards to crafted gear. If we take Odin for example the 480 gear that came with 5.2 dropped from 5-8mil a piece to less than 1mil (what I would consider a reasonable price) within the same day...maybe 2 days and further down to around 500k within the next 2 days. This means that unless the entire playerbase suddenly turns their brains off they will wait until about monday to get their crafted gear and since undercutting is absolutely rampant crafters will lose quite a bit of profit. Although that's not really anything new since ShB, it's a problem with crafting in general currently.

I mean, everyone has a week to cap. If you can't play during that week that's a totally different problem that should not be addressed.

Let's be real here. "Delaying the tomestone" for casuals wouldn't really put you at a loss since you have 4 billion weeks to do your experts or hunts to cap. Sooooooo you want max ilvl gear for....what now? Not savage... not ultimate... for what? Hunts? Dungeons? Alliances? Give me a break lol.

Bunch of casuals that don't do savage or ultimate want to step in to our world of a hardcore raider and tell us what we can and can't do. Imagine the entitlement. Oh well. At least you pay your sub so I can do more hardcore content and clear it, something that most here don't even attempt.

Stay on your side of the fence, then.

What? Step in to what world now? Imagine the entitlement indeed for you to say that. As far as I'm concerned, I'm living well on my world, thank you very much, lol. And yes, I do pay my sub, so I will enjoy the content I enjoy.

Maybe, but I think they have their gearing schedule in mind already.
