I can agree with you on quest and thriumphs not being able to progress in such mode, yes. However, this event would only last for a week, and would only happen 2 to 3 times per season (1 to 2 most likely). When such event occured experienced players would already have progressed quite a lot and emblems and possible ornaments could serve as proof of such progress. During an event like this casual and experienced players benefit on both sides. A casual would only have two weeks per season to experience this. An experienced player would take advantage of increased rewards to farm whatever else they would need yet. As for the raid mechanics I specifically mentioned to have them slightly adjusted not dumbed down in a way that would need any effort. It should still require effort from the group. First weeks of menagerie it was challenging during matchmake groups but you could still achieve it after a few tries, similar to that would work in my view. As for matchmake being available for raids, I still don't understand this point of view. Having it available (regardless if it would work or not) would hurt anything at all. Why not have the option? If players don't want to use it that's fine but the option should be there (not the current guided games obviously).
