    They need to just do:

    Story mode = Story + no rewards. Easy difficult so the more casual players can experience the lore without having a static.

    Normal mode = Difficulty maybe something around ScoB with echo. Good gear rewards, will probably require a static until overgeared and put into DF. Nerfs possible.

    Savage mode = Hardest difficulty for the hardcore. Static required. Best weapon and gear in the game. No nerfs. No DF.

    Savage must offer better gear. Period. Or else it will be ignored by 99.9% of the population.

    More like Story Mode = Alexander Normal 2; Normal Mode = Savage 2; Savage Mode = Savage 3/4

    And then on week 3 no one will ever finish it because where there's no incentive to run it more than once, no one does it more than once, and those late to the party for any reason are f'd.

    No.

    We don't need three difficulties either.

    It's call Trial Roulette. 3 difficulties is the best thing to if they have the resources for it. Story mode that's faceroll no loot, Hard mode that's harder than any Trial, Savage mode that really test the top end players.

    Just want to throw this out there. A "no loot" mode will not be done, because nobody would do it, as it provides nothing. That's the reason why Normal Alexander provides loot, so that once you clear it once you'll at least have a reason to go back in.

    Unless instead of actual loot it dropped a metric asston of the latest tomes.

    i did Ramuh HM, Cape Westwind, Chrysalis all in the last week with no loot. so you're wrong.

    they can put them all in the Lv 60 roulette.

    You're right, they are in the Trial Roulette. Unless they come up with a Raid Roulette or something because Twelve knows they can't just stick that in a lvl 60 roulette with other lvl 60 dungeons, because you know. 4man vs 8man.

    In theory they could add all the turns to the Trial Roulette, but I'm more than certain there is some bullcrap that labels Alexander different from say Ravana and thus, not a trail and thus, can't go in the roulette.

    uhm i'm kinda curious about this

    [3.0] To accommodate differences in player gear and overall dungeon difficulty, item level sync has been added to the following duties:
    Duty Item Level Sync
    The Great Gubal Library Item level 150
    the gear that drops in there isnt even 150, its 148

    yes, they can. there's are 8 man and 4 man guildhests that you can get with Guildhest roulette. that's not a limitation in the game.
