I don't blame you. I enjoyed my time in the Binding Coil of Bahamut series, and I definitely think Final Coil of Bahamut found a nice balance. But when I heard how difficult Savage was going to be for Alexander, I knew I wasn't going to go anywhere near it. Even if it meant I wouldn't get higher item level gear. It's just not worth it for my enjoyment. I've resigned to sticking with normal difficulty, but I will say I was slightly disappointed in how easy it is. With that said, however, I'll stick with easier and refrain from bludgeoning my head into the wall that is Savage.

That's just my take on it. I know there are raiders that aren't satisfied with normal and may just not be up to the challenge of savage, left without a proper middleground. Though as someone mentioned in another thread, if they were to make a second tier inbetween normal and savage, players will probably just complain that they're rehashing content. Balancing the item levels and rewards would probably be a nightmare for the devs as well.
