Please consider changing the role of normal mode Alexander in future patches

OK, I understand, but I can't see that as a realistic expectation for day 1, or even week 1. I mean seriously, how impatient are people that they must walk into the savage mode raid on Day 1 of an expansion release?

I mean, it's how they have fun - they enjoy being that group on the bleeding edge. It's not for me - clearly it isn't, or maybe it is with the right people (Left an FC over the fact that I just didn't have fun doign exactly that with them.)


But some people don't find the casual content to be enjoyable. That's a matter of fact. So what's wrong with enabling the hardcore to enjoy their raids, while simultaneously enabling the casual gamer to enjoy the story?

Keep in mind, the whole purpose of Story mode wasn't to hinder the Savage mode players - it was to enable the players who were left behind on story in Raids to be able to see that very self-same story. At the moment, you're now in turn requiring people to either wait weeks on end to do a raid (To get full eso) or to grind out Alexander Story for 5 weeks to get entry into Alexander Savage. This required grind - and forced gating - cheapens the experience for the Savage mode player, who wants to see unique mechanics, strong gameplay, and enjoy exploring new content.

I love the story mode. I just honestly wish it was a sidegrade option to Law and was just as unlimited as Law instead of being a step up from Law.
