    Savage mechanically isn't particularly challenging either...

    The fact that modern gaming breeds players who are incapable of something as simple as "pick up an add and bring it to a laser before you kill it" or if in normal even the concept of "balance their hp" does not make the event hard. It shows how incompetent modern gamers are.

    Making things hit hard and have high hp with arbitrary "enrage timers" just forces gear farming. It does not increase the difficulty.

A Veteran MMO gamer knows that the experience of the game is stretched out over years, and if crafted properly, it leaves players with some of the best gaming experiences to be found anywhere.
