Please consider changing the role of normal mode Alexander in future patches

It was like this for 2.xx. Many endured it and moved on. Now that the role is reversed, it's an issue.

Uh, it was endured and they moved on? No, you're being delusional again. It was bitched about so much that they changed it to what it is now, lol. Also...It was not like this for 2.xx so I'm not sure I follow, or you're confused.

Also, it's not so much an 'issue' as it is 'something I personally would like to see change'. I'm not sitting hear furiously typing about how I'm going to un-sub to the game if I don't get it my way.

SE's first mistake was gating story behind Coil. Of course it was gonna spiral out of control with nerfs. As it is, Savage still gives the highest iLv currently and is still needed to upgrade Eso gear (atm). You're only forced to do Normal once for Savage unlock so again I see no issue. Casuals got their Normal and Hardcore got their Savage. What you also seem to be missing is the fact we are still on 3.0x, of course there isn't gonna be a lot of ways to gear up.

The issue is that Alexander Story Mode drops i190 gear, which SE then balanced the Savage game around.

By doing this, they made Stoyr Mode required for Savage Progression in the early weeks. It also puts anyone at a disadvantage who wants to enter into Savage raiding now if they just recently hit 60 or started hitting Alexander story.

If Alexander Story wasn't capped content, it might be more bareable - but to be honest, they should either remove loot from Story mode, or make it sidegrade to the currently Uncapped tomestone gear. This way there are options. But it shouldn't be capped.
