1st: I don't know if this is the right place to post this.
2nd: I think this thread been posted before.

3rd: Im posting this, because the game developers hasn't dealt with this matter since the last expansion. It pretty confusing to new players.

In 2.0, there were trio primals story mode and hard mode. On the next patch, the extreme mode released. (makes sense).

Later, the next primals have hard and extreme. We've been farming this for the maount, turned out we were doing the hard mode. As everyone says, "the story mode doesn't drop mounts." Where's the story mode then?

On the next expansion, the same pattern although we noticed some abilities cannot be used as it level to for Ravana and Bismarck (hard mode).

Conclusion, adding hard mode next to a primal, which is the story mode is confusing and meaningless to new players since there's no mode lower than hard.

Example sould be done:

thok ast thok (blank) or (story mode)
thok ast thok (hard/extreme mode)
