The fact is the trials are pretty fucking stupid and offers very little for non-relics at the cost of requiring an alliance to win.

No one is going to waste their time helping people unless it's just for fun. The trial is designed poorly through and through. You having to bring up mules shows just how low demand would be to assist relic holders up to 99.
Assuming the trial was kill-based there would be the added reward of selling the Umbral SadThing to a SadPerson. Only a little over a million gil a piece after an even split across an alliance, but considering the other rewards are exactly as awful as you make them out to be, a million gil each would be a pretty big improvement.

Plus, it's not a 100% win so you can't exactly consider it a million gil every night. Plus, some people would be giving up their nightly farming run for it. So, yeah, even if the trial were changed to "kills on any job while equipped with this SadBullet" it would still pretty much suck. It would just suck less.

A (presumably larger) number of vanilla Dynamis Lord kills would be an improvement. I presume the number would be larger because when gun's already out, somebody's bound to at least be pistol-whipped.
