Should Alexander hard drop highest item level gear?

[Sapphic]

Yoshi wasn't happy that FCoB gearing pattern was bypassed due to crafted gear, hence the ability for some FCs to clear it much faster than SE expected. Expectations where that players would need drops from earlier turns to progress in the higher turns, Which, as I said, was bypassed due to how strong fully melded gear was.

There won't be a shortcut in the gearing progression (in my opinion) how that will affect what is obtainable by different methods.

What I find ironic is that in regards to coil, players where crying out for a story mode that didn't have loot so they could experience the story, according to them the loot wasn't the reason.

Now they are adding a story mode and a Savage mode the truth is coming out, they want the story, fine, but they also want the same quality of gear that is from the hardest version of the content. Even though they can see the story in normal version easier.

A question to throw out: If you can faceroll everything in the gear from story mode and tomes outside of savage, and have no interest in doing savage, why do you need gear the same as savage if you can already face roll everything you are interested in anyways?
