I love SoF, I've completed it several times, even in a DF group. I'm excited to see more content like this in Heavensward.

That being said, there are big problems with it.
  • When you roullete into it, half the group leaves immediately.
  • It can't be restarted, so attempts take forever.
  • The risk/reward is not suffecient for players to return to it.
  • As story content, it is blocking players from progression.
  • The mechanics are poorly explained and easily miss-able in-game

Instead of asking for it to be removed or blaming players for not being skilled enough, lets discuss ways this trial can remove some of these obstacles. The biggest killer is that players who've already completed it, don't want to touch it again.
