Difficulty ramp up in savage tier far more pronounced than other mmos

I'm on the east coast and my average ping is around 80....that's hardly an issue.

It's more like the life situation of someone else impacts everyone else in the group and due to the difficulty to clear, unless the people have a huge number of hours to grind and very good synergy with timing pots and other factors, it takes too long to get through the final stretch. People often say that groups have to have the right chemistry to stick together long enough to clear a savage, but really it comes down to not having problems from real life and avoiding burnout. That and people setting expectations on the first two or three fights, then not realizing what they are in for on the final stretch because of the increased difficulty and gear requirements.
