How do we solve it?
Give Criterion Dungeons uncapped tome upgrades, or even its own set of max iLvl gear. It desperately needs its own gear progression, and that progression needs to give access to the Savage version. Barring that, Savage Raids need to be uncapped significantly earlier than they are. This game has done incredibly well based on the fact that you can change job at the press of a single button, but being locked out of content KNOWING that you could heal but you can't because you were a SMN for P9-12S, and neither of your healers want to do Criterion (Savage), hurts. If you open this up, more parties could be formed, more people would have access, and word of mouth of how fun and incredibly difficult this content is, would likely create more interest. I have never been more engaged with this game than I have doing AloAlo Island(Savage), and I truly want everyone to be able to just try it out, but I know the hoops to get there are just a little too big for a lot of people, and that makes me feel pretty sad.

TL: DR - Please go try out Criterion and Criterion (Savage). They're really fun. And please give us gear progression so more people can try. And can that whale please give me in first more, my 2 minute burst window is way too rough with out first.
