Savage is too easy

[Dzian]

The issue with savage isnt so much its difficulty or lack of depending on perspective.

For many people it's simply that you just dont get anything from it. And it's a very western thing I believe. If I'm correct over on JP land. More people raid because they can just jump into party finder or raid finder and get on with it. There's a whole different mentality over there that means people wont even dare to queue if they aren't down with the content. And that leads to a higher participation and higher success rates.

This side though. There's just to many self entitled you don't pay my sub I'm awesome you all suck players that will join any group they can and feel entitled to be carried by the other 7 people. only to end up in a party of people where half of them share that same mentalitiy and it is that reason the raid finder is dead. And many people just dont bother...

It's a very basic context of effort vs reward. And for many the rewards just aren't worth the effort especially when dealing with the vast amount of entitled players and attitudes that are present out there. Even statics continuously fall apart. Oh hey great we cleared 3s. Good going guys... come back the next night and find half ya group has jumped ship to a new group and already into 4s because why should they wait for you... they want it nowwwww!!!

the other issue with statics is the time frames. many statics want players to be there 25 hours a day, 8 days a week to get them clears as fast as possible and many players just aren't that interested. but you won't see statics that are literally just saturday and sunday nights because you can almost guarantee someones going to be impatient and can't wait till saturday to get into the next raid and thus another static ends up falling apart...

The issue this game has with difficulty is its duty finder mentality. It's never about lifting players up to the challenges. It's always about bringing the challenges down to the players regardless of how lazy they are. And that cascades onto every level of content.. regardless of level. oh you failed. it's not a case of if you try just a little bit harder... its a case of here's a massive echo buff to make it even easier than it already is..

I don't do savage raids or rarely even ex trials anymore. Nothing to do with difficulty everything to do with it's just not worth the hassle and drama of dealing with the average player. And in truth I would even label myself as an average player and admittedly these days I probably am. Defeated by the entitled mindset. Why should I bother when none else is... these days i just stick to doing content with my friends and apparantly that makes me elitist.

Unsyncs modes and stuff just make it worse because even if there is a reward youd actually like. You know you can just roflstomp it later which will not only make the reward easier to get but destroy its value to those who earned it.

Be like Usain bolts Olympic gold medals if the Olympic committee just decided to give everyone gold medals just for turning up.. so Bolts gonna be there at the start line and be like sod it i'll just walk to the end. gonna get a gold medal anyway what does it matter.
