Is there data on 'which' players 'farmed' DT Extreme while high-end but not Savage?

(For context, anyone that hasn't beaten M4 Normal is obviously not actually playing the game or didn't beat Dawntrail yet. It's highly unlikely you would be actively playing and not have beat it)

This isn't true. Likely enough that most people who are actively playing and have finished Dawntrail have also beaten M4 (though doing so once only gives them a 1/8 chance of having the minion), but every active player who finished Dawntrail hasn't also beaten M4. Some of those active players are spending all their time playing in the Gold Saucer or decorating houses. People really do overestimate how casual some casual but active players are.

Either way, they don't seem to "do content" much so wouldn't try Savage even if they are capable of it. The minion drops from savage, too, so a savage player ignoring the normal version is covered.

I think it's quite possible that a significant fraction of players that have completed DT have not cleared M4. It's not just a question of them being more interested in decorating houses. There's an entire sub-community that avoids current tier raids, either because they dislike such group content or because they simply have no reason to do so. I suspect this is compounded in DT because the story associated with the raids is so weak.
