Only one dungeon in odd numbered patches

"Is it wise to remove some content than nearly everyone participates in for content that maybe 1% of the population will complete?"

There is an enormous assumption in the second half of this question.

In an interview Yoshi specifically mentioned adding in something akin to a difficulty harder than savage, but only for single encounters in these in-between patches. When you look at the clear rates for existing savage raid encounters, do you really think a large amount of the population will get relevant clears on a mode above that? I say relevant because maybe they could clear it in a later patch with higher ilvl, but that would be disappointing.

You're making a connection that is not there. There is absolutely no element indicating that they're doing less dungeons to dedicate resources to that.

It seems like a logical inference.

"We're going to reduce the number of dungeons we release per patch, so can divert our resources to adding new types of content."

"Here is a new type of content you can expect."

It's not. Adding an additional level of difficulty to a fraction of the upcoming content isn't even close to be comparable to the resources required to design a dungeon.
