The problem with people complaining that there's no content

[Payotz]

Doesn't mean that people wouldn't do it, people run a savage fight 100 times for a fancy number on a site that isn't even officially acknowledged. Hell, people run PotD solo simply for a spot on the leaderboards and that is arguably more of a time investment and frustrating experience than any savage fight.

Pretty much yeah. People farm Ultimates over and over again for more totems and weapons, and those fights are harder than Savage. Hell, there are people who have hundreds of totems just because they keep reprogging and clearing them.

Expanding the system to Savage fights won't interfere with the folks who don't care about leaderboards and just want to clear. It's just added optional replayability for people who want to raid more than once a week, without relying on a 3rd party website, and also rewards something that can be viewed in-game, like cosmetics or titles.
