Nice of them to hand out a mission for a day, not say a word about it, and make the mobs high enough lvl that really only high lvl guilds that found out about it could twink all their alts with the gear. Thanks SOE, suck it!
Anyone who bothered to look around as they were passing the soulbinder in PoK could have figured out the task, it really wasn't that difficult. Not only that, when you zoned into pok the frog sent you a flippin tell to come talk to him! I happened to notice him, walked up and hailed him and TA-DAH, I got the task. I grabbed up a couple friends and said let's go check it out!
As for high level guilds twinking their alts, well its not really possible as the rewards are not only no-drop..but are randomly assigned to the group members. They just show up on your cursor, so what you get is what you get. All the mobs in the task are level 70+ so it would be quite difficult to "twink" any alts out on this task. I guess there's ways to possibly do it, by bringing 5 mains and 1 alt, or some combo like that. But the chance of that alt actually getting the nice stuff is slim to none. We did the task 6 times and only got the ring twice (randomly given to 1 person in the group), never got the earring, and the rest of us just got some xp and illusion potions.
As for the task being too high level for some to do...rewards like that aren't meant for lowbies to have.
So SoE didn't just throw in some awesome quest without saying anything, you just need to pay more attention.
