You can do the Older Savage tiers on MINE. I did find that most of them are vastly less mechanically complex compared to what we have now.

Because they literally are.
Old savage fights were made at a time where their design philosophy wasn't so lopsided. Jobs were more complex, so of course they couldn't make the fights as difficult mechanically.

So if you do them now with jobs that are incredibly simplified but also perform better DPS-wise (due to the potency creep every expansion) the older fights look like a joke in comparison.

which is why OP should try doing them.

Imagine actually not whining for a second and not transforming the thread into old design vs new for once. Can, never.. *rolls eyes*
