Delaying all Savage tiers by 2 weeks

They'll never do it, because that would also mean delaying the new tomestones too.
Which'd affect pretty much the entire active playerbase at 90, not just the 10% or so that care about Savage in the slightest.

I'd love to see a two week delay. I've always found the scramble between normal mode and savage annoying. I usually have to rely on running through on an alt later to really enjoy the raid story.

The final fight of many tiers has a clear rate approaching 30% on some Japanese servers. (Titan was as high as 35% on Mana). It's not hard to extrapolate that the rate is probably much higher for the earlier floors in the tier, which are significantly more accessible. The raiding community has also absolutely exploded between SHB and EW. Seeing well over 130 PFs listed for savage raids in the evenings of the first week was wild.

No matter how strongly you wish it was an unpopular aspect of the game, Raiding has become a pretty big deal.

How does tome gear getting slightly delayed even hurt casual players? Outside of glamour, what value does tome gear even have to someone who has 0 interest in pushing margins or clearing hard fights?
