Please don't delay Savage Raid Releases

I think you have a wrong perception about what's casual and what's not.

Tell me then how it would affect the "pro players" if Savage released 1 or 2 weeks after the patch.

I think you have a wrong perception of casual if you're contrasting it to "pro" players. What pro players? Twitch streamers?

People who are good clearing hard content fast, or completing content that few people can do.

FFXIV content just needs time invested since all the combats are scripted, so even if you're bad at it you can end up clearing all of them.

On the other hand, if you're bad and the content is hard, it doesn't matter the time you invest; you'll never clear it, wich is not the case with FFXIV.

That's why it makes no sense to keep the actual formula and release everything on the same day; it doesn't add any difficulty, it just makes some people skip cutscenes in order to catch up their party mates.

I'll clear all story content, craft and pentameld everything the same day because I have the time, but other people doesn't have that time and will end up rushing stuff and watering down the new patch experience.

If it's casual content, then it doesn't matter. You can still be fast at clearing content without needing to rush getting into the content. The game doesn't reward you for getting into the content faster. So if you think it's casual content, then treat it as casual content.

Still, it doesn't matter what a single person thinks. Savage content needs 8 persons, and it would help everyone if it's delayed 1 or 2 weeks. It doesn't affect the people who think FFXIV endgame is pro-content neither, so they can keep thinking FFXIV's endgame is for pro players.

Needing 8 people doesn't mean you have to rush, so a delay would just mean a delay. If you can wait 1 or 2 weeks to do Savage, then you can wait for people to all be ready without needing to rush, which shouldn't take even a week.

You're absolutely right, there's no need to rush Savage, so it doesn't matter if Savage is delayed 1 or 2 weeks.

If it doesn't matter, and you agree there is no need to rush, then why do you want it delayed?
