NO MORE ALEXANDER(NM)!

Why are people assuming the Airship Exploration will just hand out 210 gear like candy? We literally know nothing about the content, stop making assumptions based off of its highest possible ilvl. That's not to mention that the stats on it are random, let's say a 210 piece has a drop rate of 1%, but to get stats better than Savage would require extraordinary luck, meaning it could take potentially hundreds of hours for a single piece given SE's track record with relic weapons. Why do people who do this form of content for so much hours not deserve gear on par with Savage? Why don't people who spend hundreds of hours on the Relic deserve to have a 210 weapon on par with Savage, 4 months after Savage is released?

Should they give more reason to do Savage after the odd number patches are released? Yep, as to how they can do that, well I don't really know. Dyeable gear clearly isn't enough, a cool mount isn't enough, a unique weapon isn't enough, a unique set of gear perhaps? A 5th boss similar to WoW's extra bosses on the higher difficulties not tied into the story? That would probably help. But again, unless it dropped the best gear for the next 7+ months people will still complain I'd bet. As for the person who replied to me earlier, this is a serious question, why not play WoW? It's clearly a game that appeals to your play style more than FFXIV ever will, and you can even pay for your WoW subscription with gold, so if you're like me and want to play two MMOs at the same time but not be willing to pay $15 to log on every so often, well there you go.

WoW's raid gear is the best because it's literally the only way of gearing up that isn't a catch up mechanic for returning players/alts, the game focuses on raiding and nothing else, FFXIV on the other hand is completely different in that they release a lot of content (sometimes not to its benefits, some content should be put on hold if there's not enough actual endgame).
