    Considering what kind of the game FF14 is, I would say that overall goal of the game is progression of the story (though obviously for different people it might vary). To me savage is just a way to spend time with friends, with some additional bonuses alongside (i.e. gear or even some additional lore behind it).

    But there's an easy fix for it, just leave. If you notice that your party's DPS in PF is so bad that you have no hope of beating enrage, or that they show no signs of learning the fight, just leave and try again with a different one. You're usually not in party finder to make friends, you're there to progress the content.
    I would say that the difficulcy inbetween the MSQ and Savage is Extreme Trials. For an average player that just starts with endgame content they provide the needed level of challenge that shows that the content they're stepping in is more serious and it's going to be harder from now on. (We can argue about wherever Extreme is enough to prepare for Savage, but regardless it's a first step that people who want to try Savage, imo, should take, and that a lot of them skip.
