Those sort of strict ilvl requirements haven't been seen before (usually they're fairly loose) so a delayed roll out shouldn't serve any purpose at all.
    I hope so.

    Also I feel that some people here made a good point and that I stated my suggestion completely wrong.
    I intended to come with a solution that would make us able to do Savage Alex without farming Normal Alex, but the thing I suggested would leave Savage Alex easily outgearable which is not what I intended.

    I think that Savage Alex is OK difficulty wise, I am still on A4S without a clear but there are around 4 - 5 more months untill next Alex is out so this is completely fine, the only thing I am disappointed about is that I had to do Normal Alex to be able to clear Savage Alex.

    I am not exactly sure what could solve this? Maybe if there was one more gear set at the same iLevel as Normal Alexander, maybe from crafts (unmeldable) or something like that. Some possibility to gear other way than from Alex Normal that wouldn't take longer than Alex Normal though.

    I guess the one thing that I expect will remain the same, but doesn't necessarily have to, is that the next phase of Alexander HM will probably need to be completed at least once to enter Alexander Savage. Presumably, however, raiders interested in Savage should be able to clear those 4 instances and move into Savage straight away (or however long it takes them to clear HM). Inevitably some people will pick up gear upgrades since Alex2 HM will be an upgrade over Alex1 Savage, but those upgrades shouldn't be needed to enter Savage (though for completion I'm sure you'll hit a wall at some point without dipping back into NM/ getting tome gear).
