Raid Dificulty levles - request to SE

I'm just saying here, normal mode is usless, we already have dungens that u can ignore mechanics and survive everything. the same applies to normal alexander, u can ignore many mechanics and it's fine u will finish it. why should there be a gear reward of i220 items, for doing so little in effort? if you wana do it for the story then there should be no drops.

We need a meduim level raid, if u want to put drops in there. eliminate the normal mode as it serve no purpose.

Story mode: you can go in solo. no loot. you one hit KO the boss and boss can't kill you.

Normal mode: Same as normal at the moment but increase difficulty by 50%. (Also requires SSS pass to queue for in DF)

Savage: same as current savage

BAM
You just want story? Go do story mode.
Want some challenging shit? Do normal mode.
Want some static shit? Do savage mode

so we need a solution, we already have 4 man silly dungens that offer us no challange but give us weekly i230 gear. why also add silly alexander normal raid ? why call it a raid in the first place. traditionally 8-mans was a raid, ( except for story mode castrum and ultima ), now we have 8-man dungens that are silly and needless, not offering any challange what so ever, offering free i220 gear, how is this help the game?

please eliminate easy mode 8-man raid it hurts the players and the game, as people except to get gear without doing any work for it.

So you basicly want to shut out a large part of the players from the fight? A lot of people HERE claim the fight is easy and people ignore the mechanics. Shure they do that now,after we get our 230 gear, it wasnt like that when the raids first came out. Then you really had to do the mechanics to finish. Its like any raid sufficiant ilvl lets you ignore a lot of the mechanics

Of the options, I'd much prefer one raid difficulty, like coil.
Savage Second Coil was cool, a pure optional thing for the challenge, with a title showing your accomplishment, not gear.
But the entire thing being challenging rather than "DF-level easy" as Alexander is would make earning the story that much sweeter.

The only problem i have with savage is lack of ppl to form a static with, just as gordias... quite a few change server only to find a group that fits to them.
All day on party finder over weeks just to find 1-2 members is NOT fun, and atleast for shiva i can say it's a problem for alot groups.
Coil didnt have that problem because you could do it with randoms, might take a while but it was okay....

A server-wide function(per Datacenter) to form a group/static/linkshell and raid together could maybe help some i guess, but wont happen.


I can really understand that ppl get bored of it and rather do or play something else. Waiting = evil.

The issue with casual server. Finding static takes forever <.<. But hey, I've seen two groups asking for a caster this week (one even yesterday) in case you need a static.
