Agreed. It actively discourages you from farming until the trial gains Echo and the 99 token exchange. Why risk having to spend 200 attempts on the same trial on hard mode when you can wait a few months and have echo, better gear, increased droprate and a token trade if you get unlucky?

As I've said before, if you farmed EX as current content 99 times, you deserve the mount.

To be fair, the Echo, having better gear and increased droprate should result in renewed interest from all the players who struggled while the trial was current.
