NO MORE ALEXANDER(NM)!

[Anapingofness]

As a raider, I don't have a problem with Story Mode/Alex NM. What I have a problem with is the fact that those of us interested in raiding had to farm Alex NM for weeks- especially if RNGesus was not with you. So by the time we rolled around to Alex Savage a lot of us were starting to get a bit burnt out.

If the point of Alex NM/Story Mode was to let non-raiders experience the story behind Alexander, then Alex NM/Story Mode should not have dropped gear. The i180 gear + i185(RavanaEx weapons) were more than enough to clear everything in game except for the Alex Savage. Therefore, Alex NM/Story Mode should have simply been a quick instance that focused on the story behind Alexander.
That way the raiders are still left with the challenge of Alex Savage without feeling burnt out on it. That way it's a win, win situation.
