How much difference is there really between clearing savage on an ilvl cap of 110 and 130? Recently as more people have been taking an interest in Savage, I've been seeing those who cleared it in 110 saying that a 130 kill doesn't count as the handicap given is high enough to not really merit the prestige.

Even MrHappy said on his stream yesterday that ilvl130 kills "don't count" (outside of system achievements)

I suspect it is for reasons like this that are causing people to dismiss the prestige of a 130 kill.
