    Don't get me wrong, I get it. They're tuned in such a way that keeping them through skill/potency/stat changes and so forth would defeat the whole purpose.

    But it remains an entire system I can't participate in unless I rush myself faster than I care for.

    (the adjacent Wondrous Tails as well, to a much lesser extent. Unless you're at endgame, you get 60-capped duties with appropriately lesser rewards)
    If you decide to slow yourself on purpose for the sake of doing what you want to do, you cant complain you don't get to experience it. You literally cant expect people to go as slow as you just so you can experience it.

    Please keep up with the conversation. This wasn't me complaining that I can't experience it. Merely pointing out that there is more content that you can entirely miss out on.

    I play slowly because I enjoy my pace, and don't really care what I miss out on.
    Newer players have to rush to 90 and at least partway through HW story if they want to participate before content is removed.

    Unreal trials are, at present, just as missable as seasonal quests or PVP series/season rewards.

    Just as missable, perhaps, but with different degrees of consequences to missing them.

    Seasonal quests have two aspects: a "unique experience" of a quest that you won't ever be able to play again (regardless of the quality-or-not of the event) and the rewards, which can be acquired later. If you're an intermittent subscriber then neither way of claiming the rewards is "free" – your choice is between paying a month's subscription now to get the event and items, or ignore it for now and pay a smaller amount later to buy just the items.

    PVP season passes have no unique experience, but have unique rewards that so far as we can tell may never be coming back. This really is FOMO, because we still have absolutely no indication from SE about how items will be handled in future, so if we want the items then the only way to be certain of getting them is to be subscribed to the game now and spend a lot of time playing the game right now.

    And unreal trials are somewhere in the middle. The exact experience of a level 90 fight against Zurvan is unique and we have no idea if there will be a second turn at it coming back to the game, but the level 60 trial will still be with us. By not participating in Faux Hollows you are missing out on the rewards, but most of them can be sold on the marketboard and while new items are added with each season, the older items are not removed and can be earned at any point in the future.
