Instead of cutting Ultimate from 5.5 why not cut bozja?

On average 25-30% of the player base on JP servers complete savage, that's hundreds of groups. Whereas your server, Diablos can't even muster out of the few %.

Lodestone scrapes of who owns the E4S and E8S mounts. Meaning who are usually eligible for ultimate.

This doesn't clarify how many of those actually do Ultimate. If you want to give me those statistics, then we'll talk. Just because they are eligible, doesn't mean they participate.

That, and just because they do ultimate, doesn't mean the static disband when one gets delayed.

I'm in that statistic as one who has savage mounts. I also did Weapons Refrain prog for a few months. Never cleared, but enjoyed the experience.

My static didn't break and won't break over this.

It's still hundreds of groups, cause there is attempt vs clear. Regardless you can stop talking. This amount of clears just for TEA last year.

I'll keep talking, thanks! How many of those groups have quit though? You know, disbanded and such.

Those of you trivializing the disappointment of the community looking forward to the ultimate content that was delayed by a year, please consider the exact same thing can — and arguably should — happen to you as well in time.

Personally, I haven't even once tried to trivialize it. Heck, if I was an Ultimate raider I'd probably be disappointed too. No one wants their content delayed, cut, etc. What I did try to get across, however, was the why which isn't hard to understand when looked at objectively. Not saying it was right or even fair, but it was understandable given various circumstances.
