By and large, locking previously casual glamour gear behind an Extreme trial is just going to mean fewer people have that gear, not that a significantly larger numbers of players partake in Extreme content.
True we have no good way, but at least this way is something. In end sure less people will have it but if this change even gets a small percentage of the community taking part in something they would not have either way that to me is a good thing. Sure it is not perfect but it is something.
