Not everyone has a fc or a static at the ready to do that. For the rest there is only pf and that can be a massive chore for harder content.
Savage is a massive jump in difficulty. There is a reason people ask for more stuff between extreme and savage.
You also only see it from a perspective of people not wanting to do savage.
There are people with very young family, those who work in shifts or just people not too good at this game. For those it’s more a matter of should I and not do I.
Can you do those things over a large time and slow? Sure but good luck staying sane with doing a savage fight for weeks on end.
Also some are just not interested in that content same as many who were not interested in island sanctuary. Thats nothing wrong though on both sides.
There are also those who stopped doing savage for one reason or the other (like me).
Fact is that DT seems to have lots of content for raiders and not so much for others outside of the typical leveling stuff or questing.
There are no new Gold Saucer minigames, housing updates outside of apartments or whatever.
If we take 7.1 and the expansion there are 3 extremes, 4 savage raids, 1 ultimate, 1 savage alliance fight.
Thats quite a number of raid content.
I think people have a right to think that the raiders get a bit much attention nowadays and especially midcore players have very little till the field operations arrive and we don’t know how those will be implemented.
