I wouldn't blame the approach to how they see harder content as something we can exclusively blame Twitch streamers for. Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't Japanese participation & clearrates for Savage content generally higher than western playerbases?

I don't like saying this, but if they are balancing according to what their main playerbase focus is capable of (JP), then we are possibly as a whole just getting skill issued and we are complaining into the void.

And we can't even pull the "I don't want to work another job after my 8-9 hours of work" card either because japanese work hours can go to like 12h in a day.
