Only one shattered throne during solstice for armor upgrade

Couldn't help but notice that the dreaming city curse will only be at max once, hence, only one shattered throne during the solstice of heroes, more specifically, on the second week of the event and according to leaks a requirement of masterworking one of the pieces is to 2 man this activity. My concern is what do those people with a plethora of external responsibilities do if they can't upgrade their armor to the masterwork stage within 13 days (day 14 being the final opportunity to do throne). Many of the hardcore players would achieve that easy, that's fine not having a go at them, but for more casual players with other responsibilities it's not exactly a realistic goal. Last year it took me a whole week per upgrade (green->blue->purple, 3 weeks) and if this year's grind is like last year's, fully masterworking this armor will be a stretch for many people and given the enhancement core infusion debacle, a fully masterworked set of armor is rare if not impossible to acquire. Basically, these armor objectives shouldn't be tied to a time based event.

  • You only need to get the armor to Legendary to unlock the Armor 2.0 version, and Masterwork armor benefits in the current system are underwhelming at best, so I don't really see it as an issue, personally. If you aren't able to get it completed, it wouldn't be that big a loss for the like 1 month where this version of the armor is relevant, and there shouldn't be any reason you won't be able to Masterwork the A2.0 version once you get it in Shadowkeep.

  • Just realized this isnt an issue if its specifically for masterworking as you could finish masterwork objectives after the original event finished.

  • If its active for a full week, and that dungeon honestly only takes 30-40 minutes to do (on a slow run tbh) even 2 manning it, then its really your fault for not making time at that point. Not everyone gets everything, thats just how it is. If you can't spare 40 minutes out of an entire week, you clearly didnt want it bad enough to be bothered lol Plus it's just armor, it'll be replaced a few weeks into Shadowkeep most likely anyways.
