When will you people get that Savage doesn't mean what it used to? Like "Hard" mode, the meaning has changed!

Savage Coil - 100% optional, only run for the challenge and epeen titles

Savage Alexander - 100% NOT optional. You want higher than i200? You HAVE to run it, no choice (until catch up patches ofc).

The only reason it's tagged as Savage is not because it's this be all and end all of super high difficulty of challenges. It's because they can't slap a "Hard" mode tag on it to tell the casuals "it's really hard, don't do it", because they'll get all up in arms and confused over the fact "hurr but I've done Seph HM".

I'm serious, if Alex normal was tagged as "Story", and what we know as Savage didn't have a difficulty tag at all (like Coil), you wouldn't even use that as an argument. Hell, you probably wouldn't even complain about the nerfs. But just because it has the Savage tag do you assume it must be this untouched epeen stroke that SCOB has, which is NOT the case.

tl;dr get with the times.

Or next gear cycle aka 3.2 when it becomes unlocked - so you suddenly don't need to run it at all for over i200.

You know what else became optional when the next gear sets came out? T1-4, T6-8, T10-12. Guess what got nerfed? HMMMM

Just because it's happened before, doesn't mean it should happen now, nor that it was right then either. Being optional is an argument for content not to be nerfed.

IK I was there... I didn't like it back then as well but at least there I could accept it due to story... with this... no not really... there is no story, the gear isn't worth the effort anymore. Anyway let's call it differing opinions on the matter and be done with it. Not in the mood to argue about it.

*shrug* The devs didn't like how low the clear rate was for Gorias savage, so they corrected it via nerfs.

I agree, making content that 95% of the player base had no hopes of ever completing more accessible is a terrible idea. My bad.

Im not sure if being sarcastic, trolling or actually serious. Savage alexander is indeed 100% optional.

Why does it need to be accessible though?

There's no story to see, nor gated content to unlock, nor relevant gear to obtain. So what value remains in even entering this instance?
