Can we get some sort of content gate for level 70 content?

This sounds like a band name.

And the proving grounds had a minor effect on improving the ability of your average random member. Which they then promptly removed in Warlords and Legion! Because the really, really, really bad players wanted to play still.

I don't think it can be understated how easy the Silver Trials were. They were the baseline for a player who can actually play the game.

In all likelihood, the really bad players form a big enough chunk of the playerbase that not telling them to sod off is in the company's best financial interest.
