I really doubt you could really pass DPS checks with a whole team doing half the damage output expected by the leader, thus needing twice the time. And considering that you can't really "farm" savage, you wouldn't end in that situation (Since, right now, why would you want to farm Gordias Savage, since Midas normal drops better gear). And also, when you enter a savage party, you don't know what you will drop, so you could have your weapon faster even without a lesser group, just by being lucky.

So, if you take into account the RNG drop, the weekly lockout, and all other tidbits that could change your farm time, like phone calls, cigarette breaks or whatever, in the long run, it's not that big of a deal. You could also end with a lesser player, but much more enjoyable person, making the run as a whole more fun, etc...

Keep in mind that I'm still talking about players who do enough to clear the raid, not people who would screw mechanics or do so little damage that you would wipe on enrage.

I still see the FPS community not as a really great example to follow, sorry.
