Should Alexander hard drop highest item level gear?

I made an silly exaggeration because the concept of comparing it to killing a beast-man and rabbits was silly.

The comparison was more or less spot on. There's a pretty drastic difference between being able to maim something that poses no challenge and something that's on more than equal footing with you. The fact that you're able to receive the same reward for killing any amount of metaphorical rabbits would imply that you're on the same level as someone who can slay a Beastman.
