Please don't delay Savage Raid Releases

[ForteNightshade]

Skipping every bit of story aside is a personal choice, one that wouldn't be necessary if others are empathetic enough to understand why one might want to not skip the story, at least for the raid.

We've been over this before. If two or three people in the group want to watch story and the remaining don't, you're at an impasse where some members of the group are going to be disappointed. The solution shouldn't be "well, you three who like story go find another static that doesn't want to raid when patch drops." And as Liam highlighted earlier. You only get that early prog feel the actual week of. Blind prog therefore is just artificially handicapping yourself. Not to mention, it becomes that much harder to both avoid spoilers and even find players who want to prog blind. Additionally, if those players progging week one have friends who don't raid--either at patch drop, or at all--who they enjoy doing the story with. Someone will inevitably be disappointed there.

Now if every piece of content functioned this way; where the devs said here's everything. Pick and choose what you want to do first. Your side would have a more compelling argument. That isn't the case. Literally everything else is delayed precisely to avoid conflicts and make players feel rushed. This includes Ishgard and even Ultimate.
