Asphodelos Savage was added in Patch 6.05 on 4th of January 2022, and Unlock happed in 6.18 on 4th of July 2022. 181 days inbetween ( 6 months )
Ultimate was added 26th of April
6.2 was 23rd of August

This means that i600 was a weekly lockout of 181 days until Ultimate was released (what the gear is used for).
50 days later, 6.2 was released. This is far from half of the duration(1.5months of unlocked gear vs. 6 months of locked in a 7.5 month life span) This pattern exist also for other raid tiers within similarities. The only exception so far was Shadowbringers, with a much longer raid tier due to covid and they unlocked them in an earlier patch.

I agree that there is an argument for "who is it too slow" because ultimately, the savage bis is designed to be used in Ultimate content (and also why some people do not go for BiS after clearing because they have no use for it.)

But it's slow for those who wish to use the sets for Ultimate, locking themselves into specific roles and it assumes a world where you have only one group, one job you play on. It allows for very little flexibility.
Good catch. I did note in my original post that I think that the unlock needs to happen much sooner. Either way, it's a really long loot life-span and generally at some point in the back half we get to farm it. But THAT point does not come soon enough imo. So for the AVERAGE player, the loot lifespan is MASSIVE but for those of us who are ult gremlins, it generally feels extremely slow u no.

It's just a rough situation because changing it for ultimate raiders means changing it for everyone else and that has ripple effects that we need to consider.
