    I did actually, just yesterday (or was just a few minutes ago?) his NIN was still at 75, on the forum and the lodestone both. Then I invite you to do your own research and check his gear on the lodestone: you can't enter savage with scaevan gear.

When you use the duty finder (and party finder therein) in order to prog content you already relinquish your right to create expectancies, if you don't like it; create your own group of individuals to tackle the content as people will eventually fall short of the bar for a wide variety of reasons.
    No, people are allowed to have expectations in savage content. That's why I left parties with dead weights when I pugged last tier, or kicked them when I was the party owner. I didn't join a WL2 prog to not even get past add phase.

    Then I will invite you to read my post: "Besides, his position within the game irrespective of much or little doesn't invalidate what opinion(s) the person has.."

    If you engage in any form of combat activities in this game that require group participation then you're perfectly within the boundary to give an opinion on the matter. People will underperform irrespective of whether the content is a daily routine, savage, or Ultimate. Whether or not this argument of his was done on insufficient research or experience, or not is one thing, but to attempt to dismiss it or undermine it outright is nonsense.

    Let me clarify; they're in no position to cry about it, especially those that are crying have more than likely on several occasions been on the same footing of underperforming, people knew what they were getting into when they elected to go through with progressing with pugs. Different people will progress at different rates, and thus inconsistencies are likely to occur so wipes would be expected before the specified phase that you wish to progress.

    An opinion sure, but how much credibility does it have?
    I think they can be undermined, like I'm going to undermine the opinion of someone who's hardest PvE content cleared is Totorak trying to talk about their inexistent Expert trials experience.

    Or for example I really don't think someone hardstuck bronze in LoL has any business talking about what it's like being in Grandmaster.
    The level is different, what they are facing is different, the level of play expected of them is different, it's pretty much playing an entirely different video game at this point, and this applies to everything with a wide skill floor/ceiling gap.

    So yes I really don't think his opinion on something he does not partake in holds any weight, just like I don't think my opinion on expert crafting when I seldom do more than macro does, and the "walking into a topic with (endgame) in the title without a job at 80 at the time and crying about toxic elitists being too entitled" doesn't make it any better.
