I really DO hope Alexander's story steps up, but I don't think it can top Coil's.

yup. Coil was very involved with the main story even if it was indirectly.
Alex had little to no build up since it had no prior involvement with the story.
He was just kinda there.
If this was a single player game, they could make him go around the maps and leave a trail of dead lands.
sadly this is an MMO whose world is hardly ever changing.
It would've been cool though, if they made Alex start from one end of the map and head closer towards Idyllshire in every raid update.
With the final battle happening right where he is right now.

though with where he is now, they can make things interesting.
with the next raid update have the goblins unlock the weaponry of Alexander.
Then make Alex shoot out lasers from it to the map every few minutes to a random direction.
make it a one hit kill xD
that way we'll have a sense of danger when travelling the hinterlands.
