Please release nest Normal and Savage raids at the same time.

Then wouldn't a viable solution be to 1) use the same loot system from Savage, in Normal mode, and 2) make crafting worthwhile be having a tier of craftable(without having to gather several cores from neutron stars as materials), meldable gear that with the right melds can be on par with, or slightly exceed the drops in Normal mode?

Of course that would mean making crafting more relevant, and it seems that is far from SEs intent.

I like this suggestion and wrote something similar earlier today, I have quoted you so I hope you don't mind that.
2) would definitely also solve the disappointment of crafters who expected to be more important in expansion.

It is kinda win, win situation I guess. Ofcourse the gear would have to be kinda achievable and not cost 100M Gil in total (which you have already covered), but that depends only on SE's ability to balance it.

Also I am on my post limit again (just got one more post, no idea how), so I will hope this thread won't die out so soon. ^^
