This idea. I like it.

Can we instead argue about something more alarming. Like how the EX primals aren't worth doing except for ugly pony mounts? Is this how low the mighty primals have fallen??
Content become irrelevant as time pass, primals are just another one of them. Hopefully then might add some primal-theme vanity armor in the future. I just hope they don't make it as rare as the primal mounts or as difficult/expensive to obtain like the new glowing primal weapons.. Something along 10~30% drop rate might be good.
Its a 5% drop on fights you have no reason to do
Theyre purely for the purpose of showing off
Ask any player with i90-100 and they'll tell you plain and simple: they have NO reason to do those fights anymore except to get that mount. That's the point.
and regardless of whether you beleive it or not, there's always new players wanting a first time win on primals, and not all of us are as guild-happy as youd like to beleive. You mean to remove the only reason anyone can pug these fights anymore: because players who dont need gear want them.
Keep that last bit in mind. DON'T NEED GEAR. nothing short of more cosmetic stuff will convince people to grind the primals, and once they get said item? Theyre done. And no, im not saying to make them achievements like the lion and bear. Im saying those are your ALTERNATIVE to this. So stop complaining because you don't have something someone else worked hard for.
And seriously. 5%. Compared to WoW and other mmos? Thats generous.
unfortunately not everyone is going to get the item that they want. Even if they put in the grind. I tried to get the bard pant in CT for a while but no dice. Some things are just super rare and will just have to be admired. Good Luck all and may the odds be in your favor. :)
