Locking dyable artifact gear behind a extreme trial, good idea?

[Eldevern]

Relic is supposed to be grind and it would be better if there were several way to do it. To lock the gear behind a PF for players sounds to me like the worst idea they could have. Why?

1. The PF matter.
- One brat can kill the training run.
- One brat can make the PF run for hours with people who are leaving after ten minutes
2. The static matter. You need to want and to be available in the same time than 7 other players. You can't progress or farm on your own.
3. The extrem by itself : you need to do several runs for each job you want the relic (we come back to the points 1 and 2)
4. Currently, many players have lags, latency problems (we can actually see them when players teleport, freeze or when actions while gathering or crafting are changing the pace with unusual pause).

People who don't do Ex don't necessary avoid this kind of content because of "difficulty".

And since the "normal" mode is in the story quest, you can't even train to prepare the Ex.
