I like Storm's Crown and try to farm her card for now, but after that, I don't have an incentive to do the trial in normal mode anymore.



I know about trial roulette, yes, but just like Alliance roulette, it can be manipulated by lazy people to just run the simple lv50 trials, so chance you have the trial you like is very slim.



I know about Extreme mode, but the thing is that I don't do Extreme/Savage/Ultimate. To me, the difficulty in the normal mode is just about right for non-raiding players like me.


I run Fell Court of Troia in a daily basis without roulette cuz I want the gear/glam and like the aesthetic/music, as well as it gives nice income of weekly-cap tome. In comparison, The trial itself, like every non-ARR trial, takes as long as one of a new Panda: Abyssos raid to finish, but has worse tome income and drop nothing save for a chance for a card. And the card itself can be grinded with Extreme mode, so people don't really have any incentive to grind the normal trial if they don't mind the harder difficulty.



I remember that the ARR trial drops weapons/weapon coffers in normal mode, which I think a very nice addition. Even if I don't like the glam, I can just turn them into Grand Company seal for other goodies.


I like that even a non-raider can still benefit from the new 8-man raid tier with non-dyeable gear. I wish to see a similar treatment to trials for this game, which are rich in mechanic and diverse in execution even in normal mode, so that casual players like me can feel eager grinding them, enjoy the aesthetic, music, instead of just going through them once and done.
