Hey,
this might be a controversial take for some but given how at the Fanfest YoshiP showed us the well known numbers of Savage clears (which is quite low compared to JP as we all know) I would like to suggest the following:
I think it would be great if there would be a dropdown for practice groups so that the party creator can select from which major mechanic the practice should begin, making it impossible to enter the party if you haven't seen at at least once.
Since Savage fights are always a fixed boss choreography, it would be nice to at least split it into some phases if not by mechanics. Parties already do this by writing "Practice from XYZ" , unfortunately however, we all know that non-JP groups are not very diligent in only joining groups appropriate for them and we have quite a few issues with prog skippers and what not.
I don't think the solution is necessarily to have a difficulty in between normal and savage in order to ease people in. Sure, that might help, but it might not be sufficient.
For me personally, I don't think savage fights are THAT difficult, it is mostly the frustration of pugging my way through PF with skippers etc that makes me just give up at some point as it feels like a waste of time having people in a Phase 3 group who obviously haven't even got P1 down.
Now, I can hear you shout: "Get a static then!". I wish I could, however due to life's circumstances I have wildly varying times that I can play, I can't make any guarantee to always be available on day X from Y-Z o'clock and as such have avoided looking for a static as that is the opposite of it.
Of course, it is too much to ask to be able to select any and all mechanic of the fight in the drop down, but at least the few major 3-5 ones would already be helpful.
