Arrives to you in Order Hall and means everyone will get it and will start doing it only to hit the wall of dealing with stupidity and endless normal raid grind(reports of 1 essence per normal clear means lots and lots of pugs) for no reason. There is absolutely no indication that you wont be able to complete the quest without doing that. For every casual joe out there, its just another order hall quest, like campaign or whatever.
You end up wasting all your time, effort and materials for something you will probably never complete after doing half of it already. Quite silly
I have nothing against raiders getting their shit, but ive just wasted my time, effort and materials getting to the step that i will now abandon and never come back to again.
My issue here is the damn quest, not that something is not obtainable without proper raiding. Its the fact that everyone gets the quest that rewards basically nothing unless you do what minority does... raid, with no other way around it. People and guilds that raid already have enough for mythic+ and mythic dungeons, but doesnt work other way around.
So first step requiring raid for some chain starter item that leads you to mythic dungeons to collect "components" for it is all fine to me. I wouldnt waste time with it, as i would know i dont want to raid, so the skin is not for me. But this? This is just plain stupidity... quest is just bait to waste time and effort to irritate majority of people for no reason other than lack of common sense by blizzard.
