(This does not include the flawless chest) I am surprised this hasn't been brought up yet. The recommended light level for this activity is 290. You are required to infuse the gear before you can even use it in the game mode it drops for. This is end game content and should drop end game quality gear. Thoughts?

The raid drops 300+ gear and weapons. Therefore it makes sense for trials to do the same" Edit: There have been some of you saying 280 is a placeholder and not there actual drop value. I hope this is accurate and my concerns are misplaced. Edit: The link no longer works. It appears they removed these items from the armory.
