Just to state again, removing Alexander NM won't all of a sudden make Savage worth doing. Making Savage better should be the goal to strive for. Making the rewards from Savage should be the goal.

All removing Alexander NM will do is just leave the same people who can't do savage now with nothing to do in it's place, except spam run Void Ark and look like a dark raven.

And really, was midcore every used before this game?
