Normal is not a gate, my dudes, requiring normal or not requiring normal will literally net you the same amount and type of players in your savage parties.Normal is easy, normal can be done with less than 8 people, meaning if a truly bad player that seriously is unable to do normal mechanics ques enough times, eventually, they will clear. which gives them access to savage. so its an entirely irrelevant point to make.


Most people here are either missing the point, or making a very bad excuse to the point.


The point is spoilers, thats it. V1S is literally V1 normal except with like..1 or 2 new mechanics and a different pattern. V2S is pretty much V2N with the mechanics being changed a bit and one or two new mechanics. V3S is different in alot of ways, but the core mechanics are still present.


It doesnt feel as exciting to do these bosses again when you see the same animations, the same arenas, the same style. Seeing Teraflare in T13 was monumental, one of my favourite moments in this game, it would have been so much less impressive if i had seen it in a T13 normal faceroll version of the fight. and so on
