If you wanted to make progression week after week, you had to make sure you had at least all you needed from normal mode or cap eso on a weekly basis which is slower, the whole thing is designed to make sure good players are in the same run as bad players to carry them.

Which is also why they probly made Ultima extream needed to get into savage. To get said people past it. But you can run that unscynced now so big back fire for them if that was true.
