What's even the point of doing savage?

@OP: You're not wrong; Savage and general hardcore endgame stuff is done for the sake of personal goals and satisfaction.

It's not for me, and it might not be for you either and that's fine. I personally like to level as many classes as I can to cap, more for story (But even then we don't have stories per job anymore so my motivation there has waned).

I typically just play when I feel like leveling or hanging with friends, but when there's nothing I want to do I don't force myself to play- I just play something else to scratch whatever itch I'm feeling. Or do some netflix.

Just for your own personal planning, assuming you're worried about gear or keeping up your iLVL:
The easiest route for gearing up is basically getting end-of-expansion tomestone stuff, which will last about 5 levels into the next expansion.

(Meaning, the gear that drops in the 3rd MSQ dungeon will be better than the tomestone stuff, so you'd never need to really farm for gear)
