Normal/Savage Alexander complaint

[Miscreant]

If they had made upgraded law gear and alexander normal gear the same ilevel, noone would run normal more than once. Which would result in people that don't do it right away have less chance of actually clearing it...
Having it better creates incentive for people to actually do it more than once.

Thats how Eso and Savage gear works now, both are i210, doesn't any different to make Law Tome gear match Alexander Normal gear. But this has already been and gone now.

Eso is i200, with upgrade to i210 possible by getting items currently only found in Savage alexander. Both eso and savage is capped.
Law tome and upgrades are uncapped. Alexander normal is capped.
It would make a huge difference if upgraded law tome gear was same ilevel as alex normal.

Well we upgrade Law with hunts, have it drop at 180 then upgrade it to 190, it's still the same as Eso, you buy Eso with the intention of it being 210 before long. The gap between 180 and 190 gear out side of progression is redundant, everything can be nuked in 170 as it is. People complain about their not being enough horizontal progression as well, this doesn't necessarily fix it, but it contributes towards solving the problem.

I'm not really sure if you have the experience to talk about how upping law gear by 10 ilevels would affect the balance of the game, 190+ and you still haven't killed Ravana, we did that in Law gear, not even the upgraded Law at that...thats still the hardest non raid content in the game, so please tell me again how Law being i190 would unbalance the game.

Even then this has all been and gone now, Alexander Savage and Normal are out, we've already seen the bosses and the basic mechanics of the raid and you can't take it back. I just hope that for the next set of Alexander raids that clearing the previous Savage is the entry requirement, not clearing the normal mode; and that our 210 gear from clearing this Savage is the minimum gear requirement as opposed to the new normal giving 220.

Outside of this issue though, I have been really enjoying Savage I just feel it could have been handled better, and from the responses in this thread it seems quite a few people running it have somewhat similar opinions, even if they may differ slightly in places. I'm not crying about nerfing anything, I'm just saying I want my progression to surprise me tell me the story and to not have it watered down by content thats an absolute face roll.
