They won't make Alex Hard Mode for 3.0 right now. And they won't modify the relic quest either. Not until its nerfed. You can expect more stuff in the future, but not now, no.So what you are saying is that until patch 3.2, they should only accommodate casual and hardcore players, but leave midcore players with nothing catered to them?
Edit: Oh btw, I'm hardcore by my playtime and dedication, but I'm not willing to "raid with just whoever" (like say, hitch a PF run). I typically play 70 hours a week. Of not-afk time. The relic as it is is fine for me. I do beastmen (I have all 6 mounts), I got crafts and gathers all maxed and with enough gear to make the lv 60 1 star stuff (but I'm not insane enough to make 2 alts just to cover all specialists).
