How about we change the "dps check" a little?

All I'm getting in opposition to this is a lot of non-specific banter about "participation trophies," and how bad that is. What specifically is being lost if this hypothetical, where casuals could clear Savage content for lesser rewards, were to happen?

you're losing any sense of pride and accomplishment.

while that line is a meme, it is partially true. You don't see any World First clears on dungeons or MSQ trials. You only see them when the content is deserving of the effort with high difficulty and high bar for clearing. you have to be decent at this game to clear these fights while they're current. "clearing" the fight under some "casual" setting will never be seen as a real clear in current content.

the "easy mode" you speak of already exists, its the option to unsync these fights way in the future when you're 100 iLvls higher than the fight.
