To be fair I don't pug my Savage clears at this point but if I did this could make me hesitant to do so.

People have a hard enough time living through basic mechanics now, if we let in everyone who wanted to give it a try I would imagine there would be considerably more death. I'm not even just talking about a skill gap (althoigh this would likely be a contributing factor) but more about a stat gap.

When we started doing o10s we had very little info about it. During Middy's Ultimate attack our healers hasn't prepped sufficiently and our group wasn't exactly overgeared so our BRD and NIN just died. I think the only reason the DRG lived was second wind.

Not having enough hp or defense sucks. I can't imagine an open call to everyone who wants to try raiding would leave a pleasant taste in many mouths because apart from the extreme difficulty hike from casual content many would likely just not have the hp/def/mdef to live without constant shielding.
