The Current Status of FFXIV Patch 3.1 and How to Address it Moving Forward

[Zumi]

Based on the feedback that we have been receiving, we will be lowering the difficulty of Alexander: Midas (Savage) that will be implemented in Patch 3.2, while simultaneously setting the item level of the Savage weapon and the item level of the new Allagan tomestone weapon to be different. We would like to revamp the overall balance moving forward with these changes.

Is this really going to fix the problem with end game players who have quit because the current savage is still hard?

Even if the next set of raids is easier, very few will going to see them unless, either the current raids are nerfed or the requirement of beating the current raid to progress to the next raid is dropped. So what is actually going to happen with 3.2? Will there be nerfs and echo to the old savage or will it just not be a requirement to do Midas?

Most likely you'll only have to clear Midas NM to unlock Savage, since NM is the canon story and Savage is the Minstrel's deliberate re-imagining of what happened.
