Increasing difficulty in casual content ≠ Savage

[Ghastly]

We get too many ilevels jumps.

Rabanastre was a really fun challenge until ilevel jumped, things that required us to be careful became tickles a few weeks later. if the ilevels were kept smaller it would help with how long these contents last. Same with some dungeons, and it's not the mechanics, as I pointed out...people still get hit by mechanics, they just take so little damage from them because of ilevel and the bosses die a lot faster because of ilevel.

But I agree..with devs it's always too easy or too hard instead of something in the middle.

I have seen the other comments, but it's close to bed time for me (don't judge, I work nights, so I'm tired and this sun doesn't help :P ), so I'll post replies to the other comments when I log back on, but this post right here echoes some of my feelings. The ilvl jumps, while seemingly nice, are just too frequent - there's no sense of accomplishment with them. The difference between 325 and 370 is staggering...though I'm sure there was something similar with HW. I get that Savage needs to be higher, but that jump between Hell's Lid/Fractal Continuum and Sigma Savage drops is high. I'm not sure if other MMOs have this huge difference within a patch cycle, though, so feel free to correct me on that if other MMOs follow a similar path with gear progression.
