There is also this thing called "Guildhests". I did all of them waaaay back at release, and then when I was looking through the Wiki it turns out, no I didn't do the last one, the 8-man one. Good luck waiting for 8 people to do them. Thus it remains not done.

What SE should do is expand Guildhests all the way to level 70 with everything from level 40+ as 8-man non-Trials versions of mechanics.

The Guildhests generally prompt you to do things (eg kill or target something) , it's not a stretch to get some AOE dodging, stacking, pillar stacking and such into some of these.

If you pass all of them, then you're good to go for the game. If you can't do all of them, then Trials and Dungeons with those AOE's should be locked off.
