What do you base this off of? How big is your sample pool, and where did you get the players in your sample pool from?

If it's just your friend group, then your sample pool is biased to what your friend group aims towards.
Let's say they were hardcore Ultimate/Savage raiders, then your post would be quite different.
If you got your results from Limsa, you would get entirely different results than from Radz At Han.

But none of this matters.
I don't see why you should care where other players in this game set their goalpost at.

Ask yourself the question: Do I want to hit gold parses in every savage?
If the answer is no; What do I want to do in this game?

But seeing you call yourself a new player with a join date of 6 years ago,
I am not sure if anyone can take you serious if you can't take your own post serious.
