A Skipping Normal Raid Option :o ?!

[Commander_Justitia]

Since the Heavensward addon we get normal modes besides the savage raid tiers.

I think the "normal/story mode" was a good addition for casual players who don't want to attempt savage at all, or don't have the time for it(or other reasons). I don't want to have it removed.

But as a savage raider, my incentive to play during the raidtiers in Second Coil and Final Coil was also to progress the story and be surprised by new mechanics/bosses. More "recently" I only experienced that feeling with the A8S final phases and Neo Exdeath a bit.

I want to be able to completely skip normal mode and enter savage mode directly. Even if the savage mode doesn't have any story cut scene, I still would prefer it, I would have the chance to choose at least.

It is not necessary to get the gear from normal modes to clear savage, there is probably better crafted gear anyway.

It shouldn't be a requirement to have cleared normal mode to enter savage.


Why do I have to spoil myself the savage experience in normal mode?

Edit: Unlocking the new savage tier right off could be tied to clearing the old savage tier, while new/returner/casual player can still unlock it with the new story mode.
