If you don't do savage what is the problem of getting 210 somewhere else? I still remember when people cried when twinecoat was introduced into hunting... People cry and cry and cry over the fact that casuals could get this higher upgrades without doing coil.

This time is a different story. Alex savage is OPTIONAL so you don't have to do it unless you really want to. The Diadem is fantastic way to carry on raiding for something that is accessible to EVERYONE.
