I cleared alexander week 1, then continued leveling crafts, gathering, getting esoterics as I felt, etc. So just because a large playerbase in your opinion isn't doing the content enough doesn't mean there aren't people playing.

You use the example of yourself as someone who is not invested in the content Alex presents, and then continue to say that you have cleared it. Can't we assume from this that even people who don't care about Alex will clear it, and thus the 200,000 represents most of the playerbase?

Honestly, I don't feel that the reward is worth the effort. That is why I don't even bother myself because if I do (do it) then it will get recorded and they will make more content I dislike.

I want more Open Dungeons and less closed off instances.

If Alexander Savage had gear that wasn't just (4 extra health, 4 extra strength and stats) I would probably put more effort into it.

As you can see, the Majority really does not care about Alexander Savage.

For the last time, it is not and never was about the "gear" for those doing hardcore progression. What's so hard to understand about that??

Well, I don't care about content if the reward isn't worth it.

If you want a "challenge" and "thrill" do Alexander normal in level 57 Vault and 59 Library gear. For super "hardcore" use mostly level 50 gear.

That is my reason, and I am sure the other people have a reason for not going in too.

Now, if I got something like ...

http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Dream_Scorcher_(Mythical)

I would be throwing myself at Savage like a bear to a honeycomb. THAT is INTERESTING loot, it changes the way your abilities work and makes the game overall funner and different. It also has a clicky effect for skills.

Yeah, good luck with that. I don't give a crap about story and coming together with other players. I like killing a dragon for his big stash of gold.

That worthless ilvl 210 gear will be replaced next month anyways by even better easier to get gear. =) We learned.

It is difficult to tell from those numbers, as it's been pointed out they are clear numbers.

For example, my static has yet to clear A1S, but we (try) to meet twice a week to clear it. Unfortunately, we've only had 2 runs at it due to RL situations :(

I guess? I just never found the gear a big enough upgrade to be worth the effort. It has a terrible appearance for one and the stats are a minor upgrade and with new content coming right around the corner it will be replaced.

I think you misunderstood the part I was responding too.

"As you can see, the Majority really does not care about Alexander Savage."

I assume you are establishing that no one cares based off the low clear numbers. I was simply saying that many more people want to clear or are trying to clear who have yet to clear. Those numbers just don't reveal everything is all.

Kaurie.. quick glance at his profile and I don't even think he can enter Savage yet. Trolling? And as a fellow player on the Bryn server, good luck with your Savage clear!

They saw how hard it was and they saw the reward for it. Decided it wasn't worth the effort. There isn't much incentive to do it for one, and honestly I can see why people are too busy to do it. Since they know its going to get easier (Echo) and they know there will be gear replacements for it soon.

I have other characters, the 60s game has been out for months. I simply decide to use this character for forums. ;)

Roleplayers tend to have multiple characters, I dislike the "Everyone can be Everything" mentality. I am glad they are removing the main story-line in 4.0 requirement next patch.
