Difficulty format for Normal and Savage will remain in 4.0

As long as the casual gear is as strong as the savage gear the casuals have no reason to bother. That is the issue.

Now if the savage gear was 10 or 20 ilvl better than upgraded tomestone gear - sure, feel free to unlock the casual content. I actually said in many threads that the weekly lockouts are punishing new players and players who play multiple jobs. But let's be realistic, casuals being able to grind the best gear in one week could hurt the game a lot. So making the savage content the only one uncapped is giving the players at least some way to gear up without restrictions while it is actually restricted by the difficulty and kinda realistic to implement.

I agree with you up to let's be realistic...

The "Casual being able to grind the best gear" is the underlying problems, and that's where it needs to solve, but not w/ your savage solution.

I leave with this comment as things are just going in circles and exchange has gone farther than what I'd liked...
