We can both agree, the reward if measured by power, is essentially the same.

Ultimate was released months after Omega Savage, yet so much fewer participated and succeeded.

IT DID DETER players from doing it. This is is suggested by how few people even participated in it.

I believe, if the stats for ultimate, reflected just how much challenging it was than savage, you'd see more people pushing to complete it.
You directly contradicted yourself, and now you are trying to backpedal and change your argument. What deterred people from doing Ultimate compared to Neo-Exdeath is that Ultimate is significantly harder and players cannot do it. Increased stats on the weapons would not encourage more players to try Ultimate or push to complete it. It’s difficult to the point that most actually cannot do it, and that is the entire purpose of the content.

I don’t think you actually understand the design of Ultimate. You just think it’s another avenue for big boi strong gear, but that was never its intention. Its intention was to give the hardcore raiders a challenge because they were dissatisfied with the way Savage was getting progressively easier since Midas.
