I see the same line of thought again: Raiders = hardcore, grinders = casual. Would you mind perhaps explaining how a grinder may not be a hardcore grinder?
It wouldn't prevent them from getting anything. The point is it's a reward for clearing the hardest content in the game. An incentive that makes people want to run savage and not just stop at normal. Just like high Tome turnout is an incentive to run the same two level 60 expert dungeons all week.

And a hardcore grinder would be the people who grind savage for their gear/tokens or the people who grind Ex primals for a weapon.

Casual grinders are the ones that grind Ex dungeons and maybe multiple relics. That's not hardcore, it's just excessive. No offense.
