Yoshi-P has stated as well that Arm of the Father Savage (A3s) would see a nerf in 3.15 due to disappointingly few clears.

wonder how Yoshi-P feels about a4s

Probably everything will be nerfed. Having content only few people can clear is not $$$healthy$$$ to the game.

Actually it is very healthy. Gives something for people to strive toward.

Not when people don't want to do it.

Let me know how that worked out with Coil savage and the original Steps of Faith.

It stopped people from leaving instantly with Steps of Faith, so quite well I'd say. They aren't comparable types of content though.

They have not nerfed savage coil. As for the current content, Savage nor Thordan gates story or have random matching so...

Not the point I was making. If something is too hard and/or has no rewards (or worthless garbage as rewards) to motivate people, people will not bother to clear it.

Steps of Faith gated the story - so face roll mode is kinda assumed. However *SAVAGE* is not required for story at all.

Having SOME content that can only be cleared by a few people is fine. MMO players like feeling special/unique. Content that not everyone completes/obtains is an easy way to accomplish that.
The problem is, there's only 1 option for raiding content at the moment, and it's incredibly difficult.
Imagine some of the only worthwhile rewards you could get from Gathering/crafting were only realistically obtainable by a very small percentage of crafters/gatherers; people would rightfully complain. But if there's some worthwhile rewards that aren't as difficult to obtain, most players would probably be okay with that.
