1: OPTIMALLY, I would see the normal mode Alexander floors added to a story mode roulette along with the research facility and singularity reactor. It's only slightly more difficult than those two, and IMO on par with the chrysalis. It rewards no gear, except maybe a ring or pet or something at the end as your "reward" for completing the story. It's released the same time as savage, but savage raiders do not have to farm it in order to get gear.

2: Alternatively: The raid rewards gear, but it is on par with gear levels already obtained (Imagine if the current tier of normal alexander rewarded i180 gear instead) Then the non-savage-raiders would still have their glamour, their story, and their content, while savage raiders would STILL not have to farm the content.

I want the main takeaway here to be (and not so much for you, for everyone reading, since you seem to understand where I'm coming from) that I don't want to deny the less-dedicated players anything at all, I just (and I feel like I've repeated myself a bunch saying this) do not want to be forced to farm it prior to savage.
Alexander Normal mode ilvl is 190 Alexander Savage ilvl is 210 so that make Alexander Normal filler gear for casuls until they get Esoric.
