That's a relief - I thought it ended Sunday night.

I really need to do the Silver PG anyway - it's a gating issue to
most of the end game content.

I wonder why Bliz decided to put this in - did they feel that too
many toons were being 'carried' in LFR? Since they normalize ilvl
etc in the PG, they're a pure LTP barrier; unskilled toons can't
get through regardless of their gear.

This is a problem for me, since I've generally been a bit low
on my dps, and relied on grinding gear to keep up.
