Getting locked into Dwayne or Basic Relativity from E12S? Haven't seen that since 6.0. The only fights that are remotely still challenging and might take a bit of time to fill are the final floors of Asphodelos and Abyssos, in which case... you can watch a guide or just wait until next expansion.

I personally like that these rewards are always exclusive to this content. I enjoy joining unsynched fights I did as raid floors in the past to help out!
One of versions of my proposed idea was to have making the items purchasable behind a "clear wall". With this you would still need to clear the fight at least once but there would be no need to find groups to farm it over and over. Also as someone said just a few posts above this it can literally take hours and hours of siting in PF just to find a couple of other people to do an old fight. Not everyone will have 3+ hours to waste sitting around in PF every time they want a new piece of glam.
