Is there a way to fix savage?

[GaiusDrakon]

What you have explained is how the system works, which i pointed out it is doing what it is supposed to do (and i understand WHY it is in place). The problem is it is incredibly limiting. "You're meant to be doing other things", but why does the same logic not apply to Extreme, Ultimate, or Unreal? Ultimate (on patch) and Unreal both have weekly lockouts but don't stop the player from jumping back in even after receiving their reward.



Neither point you made here applies...at all. They've already progressed through multiple fights in my example, and they don't get things "quicker". If you only need gear from 11 for example, you can still jump into 11. You just can't get anything from 9 or 10 that week. If you need gear from 9 and/or 10 still, you still have to clear those fights, which takes time.... So?

Cos you can trivially sell clears or really just boost people with 7 people + 1 buyer.

Instead of Savage, why not release a Savage+ version that is infinitely repeatable in week 8. Once you did your Savage for the week, you can either log off or do Savage+

You can put stuff like special challenges such as "never get hit by p10s turrets", "8 tanks" in Savage+ mode and these challenges refresh every 2 weeks or so. FFLogs will 100% log these. And then tune these fights to BiS gear level and make things hit harder. Rewards from Savage+ would be something like a unlocking a third materia slot on one piece of gear every time you complete 4 challenges (so 11 weeks to get to the next level of BiS). To make it infinitely replayable, FFLogs is there but you could also make an official leaderboard for Savage+ speeds. Top rankers get a title and some glams/mounts that require top ranking but will still be available to next raid tier's top rankers (like Feast t100 but each t100 can buy any of the previous t100 rewards), and consecutive top rankers will be top on the leaderboard but cede their rewards to the next in line.

If you actually want to do Savage because you want to help people then idk if there's any good fix.

This game is really unimaginative though and idk how someone can do Savage over and over again without some permutations
