    An unexpected neat thing from delaying savage was having everyone on the server sitting in Aporia to get into Savage. I used to love seeing everyone outside in North Thanalan and on the doors of Alex. I understand why they removed the requirement of needing to be on the same map but it was really nice seeing everyone in one spot getting ready and excited together.

    Also a big fan of the delay. Had time to enjoy the MSQ and Raid Story and do the EX with friends even though I had to put a lot of time into work. The delay also meant that I could help out with making pots and food for everyone on the weekend.

    I'm taking Lore way too seriously. And I'm not sorry about that.

    Delay on Savage means time for MSQ, time for EX, time for doing raid content slowly, time to craft, and time for Island Sanctuary.
    All enjoyable things.

    either that or just don't download the data until then (though obviously maintenance is non-ideal)

    Datamining really did not have any impact this tier beyond people malding about it on Twitter.
    Knowing attack animations and debuff icons in advance probably saved world first teams... a minute at most. It's a non-issue that's blown out of proportion.

    I'm pretty sure seeing any datamined stuff can be avoided too unless people are dumb and not applying proper spoiler warnings.

    I enjoyed being able to not feel rushed to hurry through the story and normal mode just to get to savage. It was nice to just take my day on day / week 1, enjoy the MSQ and other aspects of the new patch at my own pace. Does that mean I blew through it and consumed it all? No where close. But I didn't feel like I had to put everything on the back burner to get ready for raid.

    I like that for our group, we can spend some time this week to work on our strategy for the fight and not have to rush to get the crafted gear, wait on BiS, etc. As an onicrafter, I didn't have to rush and spend the day gathering / crafting not early gear, but food and pots.

    Overall, I liken it to exactly like the first tier is after an expansion is released. There is some potential adjustments to jobs based on changes, and this week allows players to play with new changes in a more relaxed manner. I would highly recommend going with the approach for future tiers.
    I would prefer no savage tiers. Why lock things behind something I can't do with out 7 other people who are always judging every little thing I do and blaming me even when I'm not the one who screwed up?

    Savage causes anxiety and stress, it is not fun at all.

    "This content doesn't appeal to me so no one should have it." is what you're really saying here.
