Is this the general understanding of what hardcore players and statics are? Seems a bit too extreme for me and rather unhealthy for the mind and body alike.

Also, If you have to invest 10 hours or even more to clear a raid tier as a static on week 1, doesn't this mean that the players are slow learners? I by no means claim to be a fast learner but it is just strange for me that someone who needs 10h+ to learn ten mins scripted fight expects fast learners to join him. If 10hours is fast then what is considered slow? Are the savage raids on week 1 that hard? I really want to find out.
