Heh well I *really* hope it's not like the wisdom sigils, power was
fine but it took me 65 bosskills to get 10 wisdom :-/ I know there's
more bosses this tier but still, it's a bit much!

Yeah, I see why they lowered it a bit, give some chance for new 90s to
ever get there, but 3k seems a little low, I'd have pitched it at 4k
or 5k myself. 6k is painful frankly; if you're not a person who enjoys
capping valor every week anyway (which I am not: I burn out), it takes
forever and really feels like a massive chore. IoT rares have helped a
lot the past few weeks to be fair but still, I can't wait for this to
be over! Just a little annoyed that it's changing *right now*, when
I'm almost there, sigh.

The finding a group thing is the one time where I am delighted to be
on a very highly populated server biased heavily towards my faction:
without specifically looking, I see people LFM for that quest every
few days, so hopefully I'll find a group within a week or two! The pvp
one on the other hand will be painful, I'll just have to hope for the
best there; I do like how it covers so many aspects of the game, but
the group quest will be hard for people on lower populated realms,
that's for sure.
