Are we reneging on the commitment to have more difficult normal content already?

Using surveys and achievement for clearance rates of savage

Lucky releases the census every patch

DT savage has basically the same proportion clearance as the other expansions, which means the playerbase hasn’t gotten noticeably more or less top heavy

So if people are leaving uniformly, and ~70% of the playerbase doesn't do savage, then 70% of the people quitting don't do savage.


Also, he says in the 7.3 report that fewer players are doing savage than usual.

ただ奇数パッチになるとRE装備やアライアンスレイド装備などで装備ILの底上げができるので踏破者数は普段は増えていく傾向にあるのだが、今回は新しく挑戦しようという人が増えない傾向にあるようだ。
「だから緩和するべき」と言いたいわけではない。高難易度をやる人とやらない人が分かれる傾向はここでも読み取れるということだ。

While the number of players who clear the content usually increases with odd-numbered patches due to the availability of upgraded gear from RE equipment and Alliance Raids, this time, there seems to be a trend of fewer new players attempting the content.
This doesn't mean I'm saying "they should make it easier." It simply shows that the tendency for players to be divided into those who attempt high-difficulty content and those who don't is evident here as well.
