Making it into an actual 24-man trial would have also likely meant a completely new battlefield and I wouldn't be surprised if they're too focused on Stormblood and wrapping up Heavensward to dedicate resources to an entirely new area just for a "fun" fight from the fan festival that was never intended to be included in the game or even be truly difficult.
They already made an area for it though. In fan fest it had it's own instance, if they didn't want to add lore stuff to it they could just stick it under the wandering minstrel.

However, as much as I hate it being in Dun Scaith due to it not only not fitting in with the theme but also because it seems like an incredible pushover, even for a trash pull, I can understand not making it into an actual trial for the fact it is 24 man with a weekly lockout and a token drop which would make it go dead real quick and filling spots for it would be near impossible within a month or two. I mean, look at how long Odin queues could and still can take since he offers so little.
Currently there is 0 reason for people to queue for midas normal once they are past it, even back in 3.3 I had a 5 hour queue with no pop so SE clearly has no problem with the above. If keeping reasons to do stuff was a concern more reasons to do content that actually unlocks current stuff for new players should be their priority.

I've been able to play devils advocate for a lot of things SE has done... but swapping out a trash mob for their new fight, something that is supposed to keep us busy for the next 3 months, is idiotic at best.

Dad tells me to pay a credit card bill online after going to bank. Like sure just leave a credit card so I can pay. Found out he just left the credit card he needs paid off not the card to pay with.

i really thought it would have been under "Wandering Ministrel yadda yadda Ultima Ex"

fight itself it isnt exactly bad, just adjust the resistance - hp and damage (and other stuff) to match a certain ILVL and call it a day.

mechanics for the fight wherent that bad, problem during the fight was that everything was made out of paper.
no one knew what to expect and had no casualties.

IIRC, 1st time in Dun, half the alliance at the very least, died on that fight. cant remember if we actually wiped it.

new fight: joke.

Hey Mag

Imagine we're best friends and we had a falling out about 5 years ago.

Does this email sound passive aggressive at all to you? Even just 1%?
Trying to make this accurate. You know how I tend to playfully purport myself etc

Okay, sounds like we're talking about tone, here. /knucklecrack

Let's get to work.

hey it's me.
Good start. You're approaching it cautiously and without colloquialism. It makes you seem apologetic, and if that's your intent, then bully.

You might want to identify what that reason is. Right now it feels a little stalker-y.

Quote:
and hope things are going better for you.
Showing sincere concern. Assuming there's nothing attached to this, it seems like a simple well-wishing.

Please don't feel obligated to reply or anything, I just had you on my mind and wanted to wish you well.
Here's where it starts to feel a little passive aggressive. Also, your email seems to not really have much of a point beyond "Hi, I'm still alive," or one of those "thinking of you" cards. You could show a little more assertiveness while still being cautious, something like:

Quote:
I really hope you're feeling better. If you have a chance, could we talk?
Now you're putting it in your friend's hands and the ball is passed. It's still not forcing obligation. Your friend can do whatever he/she wants to do with the ball in their court. They can drop it, and if they do, it's on them. Or, they can pass it back. But it's their decision now, not yours.

He wants to care. From a distance, where no one can see him and how much he cares.

That's what greeting cards are for.

Well, if that's the case...

If it were me, I'd move towards burying the hatchet if it's worth it. If it's not, I wouldn't even initially contact them.

I think I'm getting the gist of it. If that's your intent, then the email as you have it should work.
