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

[Kraniel]

If you want the gear but for whatever reason can't do the savage fight currently (or the EX in this case) you can always unsync the fight next expansion. I'm sorry if you feel it's unfair, but those who are doing harder content deserve rewards, too. Getting dyeable gear sooner is simply one of those rewards. There are plenty of other gear pieces easily obtainable in the meantime.

Also Eden's Verse came out in 5.2? You must mean the Eden's Gate armor, I assume, and I still see PFs for learning and clearing Titan and Leviathan daily. Sure, they aren't as plentiful as they were when the tier was current, but they still exist. Additionally, as I said in another posts there are fellowships and discords dedicated to getting people started and through savage and extreme fights and hardore/ midcore content in general.

It's not unfair for me personally since i'm currently doing the savage/extreme trials. I was saying it's unfair for those who don't want to do them at all.
Yeah you're right, i meant Eden's Gate, not Eden's Verse. And it's a real pain to find a party to do those nowadays.

I expected you to say that people can just wait until the next expansion to do the content unsynced, but that's not a real argument. Expansions come out about every two years. You're basically asking the whole casual community to wait for two years to get the dyeable version of gear they already own.

On the other hand, when some players asked to delay savage of 1~2 weeks at most, the hardcore raiders said they wanted the content right away, just because (see this thread for instance). I don't know your stance on this other topic, but whatever it is you have to realize that when the hardcore part of the community says they can't wait another week to start savage, telling the casuals that they should wait two years to get dyeable gear is quite the absurdity.

All in all, that's why i'm saying that there are other ways to reward hardcore players, without frustrating a whole chunk of the community (because just as you, i too think that players who clear difficult content should get exceptional rewards). All i want is for SE to explore those options.
