I’ve discussed this previously but now is a really good time to revisit the idea since we know have seen the devs implement some feedback into criterion (savage) rewards.

So basically the idea is that criterion normal should drop gear chests that have the exact same stats as the last savage tier. You can have a similar lockout system and all of that. Although it has the same stats it will have UNIQUE GLAM. You can also keep the 100 tokens mount reward. This turns criterion from a niche piece of content into something with a lot more appeal instantly. It accomplishes all of the following:

- Allows alternate forms of gearing for savage raiders who maybe want to gear an alt or just gear faster late into the tier.

- Cements criterion as a viable high-end alternative for people who don’t want to do 8-man raids/can’t commit for a whole savage tier but still want to raid or have BiS.

- Gives the content good rewards with cool looking gear sets people will want for their glams

What about criterion savage though? Honestly I’d be fine if they removed it altogether. Unlike criterion normal, I see a huge amount of negativity for the savage versions. I don’t think people would miss it if it was removed and the weapon reward was folded into normal mode (but just give the weapon outright next time). However if they must keep it, then maybe savage gives a cool glow version to the criterion normal weapons or is just the only way to get the weapons (I would just prefer cool weapons through normal mode).
