Okay, I cant work through this wall of text in as much detail as I would like to right now, because my head hurts.
Mainly because of one thing - and thats the thing I'd like to adress: Your issue with statics and how that excludes people from the more difficult content.
You dont seem to realise that content can only get more difficult and offer more of a challenge if the devs can assume two things:
- the party is working together and communicating with each other
- everyone in the party is able to perform at a high(er) level than in their average DF
I'm pretty sure that a party with two DPS who are both pulling only about 2k will be able to clear The Burn. I'm absolutly sure that a party with four DPS pulling 2k each has no chance to clear even O1S.
A static enviroment provides both of those things: A group of people who are willing to work together and are able to communicate with each other and a certain level of skill (because if someone lacks that, the static can either remove that person or help them improve).
You also seem to forget that a lot of people desire content that they can play together with their friends - while setting up and running a static is hard work (trust me, I do that), its also one of the best ways to create a way to create content that "enforces" you to do it with friends, instead of just easly doing it with randoms.
I also dont get your hate for statics in this context - by definition those people stick together in their fixed group, so for Savage-content you'll never interact with them. They shouldnt be bothering you - they're doing their thing, completly unintrested in you.
I would also like to remind you that SE is far, far away from putting "the most effort to content for 20% of [their] playerbase" - well, at least if you mean "Savage raids" by "content". I wouldnt be surprised if the recent GS-GATE or LoV required more effort than Savage-raids, fights that are re-using the complete graphic settings of the NM-raids (or is that also only done by 20%?) and only need adjustments in outgoing damage, HP and mechanics. There is very little content thats being created exclusively for raiders.
