Please release nest Normal and Savage raids at the same time.

I am just trying to find a solution for fact that we currently have to replace people every 2 weeks to even get to A4s, because everyone seems to be leaving raiding..

The reasons I've been given is simply "savage is boring" and "savage is too brutal".

My friend's static, that I've had to fill in for a few times now, has a few folks that barely have time to get on much less farm tomes. They're behind a bit in gear. One of them is a college student that's cramming for exams right now. Most of them are bored in general.

Savage isn't exciting. You don't need story to be exciting. You don't need a completely different raid to be exciting.

Just completely adding one or two entirely new mechanics does wonders for a fight. You know, mechanics that need to be performed and not mechanics that wipe your raid if you can't perform a DPS check.

Things like the sniper adds on Nazgrim(Mythic), who aim at your healers and will one shot them if people don't kill them immediately.
Things like Horridon in Throne of Thunder(Heroic), which spawns a pink ghostly Direhorn add that focuses on a single player that only they can see. You hit the one that's focused on you with a ranged spell or ability, if it reaches you, you die in one hit.
Or Garrosh(Mythic), where there's an entire 4th phase to the fight that doesn't exist on Heroic, Normal, or LFR.

Those fights didn't get "old" after a few weeks.

They got "old" because that raid was the last one we had added to the expansion(in the case of Nazgrim and Garrosh) and we ran it for over a year.

And I know a lot of folks that did not kill anything in Heroic Throne of Thunder.

Thats not correct. One big motivation ouf our raidgroup was to see "whats happening next" and we tried as good as we could to keep every kind of spoiler away from us before we set our own virtual foots into it.

Alex completely destroyed that. We did know the whole story and we did know all the bosses and most of whats happening 2 weeks before savage got released.

We could not keep away from normal mode, as it is part of the gear progression and finishing A4 normal is a direct requirement for unlocking savage (beside Ultima HM).

Since you only need to complete Normal Mode once to run Savage mode, evry additional time you run Normal mode is a choise you make.

No. Its not. The reason is called Best In Slot stats.

You can't start over into savage with pieces of one single item set, because not every piece has usefull stats for that class and there are important stats, like accuracy, of which you have to meet a specific cap.

It has always been and will ever be mandatory to mix up gearsets for best possible stats.
