A Skipping Normal Raid Option :o ?!

[Nezerius]

I think having to beat a lower difficulty to be ready for the higher difficulty makes sense and is just good design.

How does it affect your gameplay if someone wants to jump right to the higher difficulty? Players should be given the option to do so, just like players were given the option to experience the story on an easier difficulty.

and keep releasing savage at least a week or two after the normal modes.

Not going to happen, outside of expansion releases. The raid releases in the x.2 and x.4 patches have always added both the normal and savage modes at the same time.

I cannot agree with this, if none are wanting to even make an effort to try normal content.

It has nothing to do with effort, and everything to do with hardcore players wanting to progress through a fight while it's new and exciting. Similar to how one progressed through Coil.
Not having these savage raiders queuing up for normal mode in the first week, won't have a significant effect on the non-hardcore players that clear it on normal for the story/normal mode loot.
