NO MORE ALEXANDER(NM)!

[dragorian]

Normal mode would have less of a negative effect if it was released maybe a month AFTER savage and savage tuned around i180+ gear instead of i190+, then people progressing on savage wouldn't have such a big burn out of doing the same raid multiple times like that problem WoW faces with normal/heroic/mythic.

We are going to need a full ilv 200 to clear ark and 210 to make it easier

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...You legitimately made me laugh.
It will probably require i180 to queue for, but probably require at least i160 to win.

Honestly what I think SE should've done is made the upcoming island exploration some kind of midteir open area raid and take out AlexNM or make it so AlexNM doesn't drop gear or Savage gear is i215
Put in a very good story, maybe about an ancient beastmen tribe or a lost tribe of the Vanu Vanu. Maybe about them summoning an Elder Primal, maybe Quetzalcoatl to match the Vanu Vanu theme.
Put in parts where you have to a have an Alliance. For example against high level bosses or against a battalion of enemies.
Make mobs about the level of CT saga. Make mini bosses about the difficulty of BCoB difficulty or a little less. Make bosses a little harder than BCoB.
