Should Alexander hard drop highest item level gear?

[Whocareswhatmynameis]

Does it really make sense though? To have two copies of the same gear models in your inventory because you need to tackle NM to get gear in HM? What if it's just the same as tome gear? HM drops upgrade materials to upgrade alex gear? What's stopping those people who complained about tome upgrades being temp locked in a raid from complaining about this if that's the case? The ones who can't stop going wahh wahh insta death isnt fair i'm skilled it's the scripted fight's fault etc? The story excuse they used doesn't even seem to be true, just looking at this thread.

I would really hope the gear in Savage doesn't look the same as the gear in normal mode. It should look flashier, and hopefully not just some glowy effect. Pretty much a whole better skin, similar to FcoB gear. They are slowly removing all incentives for people to actually do the harder content.

NA players to bad to raid this thread shows it. Lulz

Better fix with the success rate before complaining.
SE have their own reason, base on their research and study.

Same reason we are doing SCoB savage, because challenging content is fun for us to learn and ultimatelly beat. Also the progression to clear FCoB turns where planned as having to gear up from earlier turns, but, fully melded crafted bypassed that, so chances are you will need drops from savage to clear savage alex.

I answered yours, answer mine instead of deflecting ^_^

My question was in a sense my answer. People enjoy having their character feel stronger and when the content is at its final stages there is no reason to not have the system we have atm.
