I find the idea of dyable glamor gear locked behind an extreme trial to be quite lame.
It's not the encounter I'm afraid of, I raided savage in the past, so it will be easy to me.

However, doing such things w/o a static group is a hell in itself. I won't touch party finder with a 10 foot pole when it comes to content that can actually kill you.

Really LOVED the quest chain though. To all people complaining about it's duration: that's what you get when you leave out the braindead grind!
Development of such things is very complex, takes a lot of time and has a low yield. Well done grind obfuscates that a bit.
