Ok...let me level with you here SE...

Right now, there's no real incentive for a player to want to do it.

It's a freaking hard quest for limited value to YOU. So, don't do it. Problem solved.

I don't intend to do it. The problem isn't whether I want to do it or not. It's the fact that there is no purpose for anyone else to want to do it either, short of completion's sake.

While that's all good and fine, my heart bleeds for those people because the trial doesn't justify what they're trying to achieve.

I won't do it, but it can affect me just the same. What I'm trying to avoid is a precedent being set for other content. If the playerbase finds this type of trial acceptable or is silent about it, you can bet they will introduce something similarly time consuming for the rest of us. Oh it won't be killing 500 PW or 1000 ADLs, but you know they'd love to have everyone slogging through already implemented content for years for a single upgrade if they can get away with it. I want them to know that, for me, that's not cool.
