Spindleskog Boss/Mini Boss Upgrade

Just some random thoughts hoping that the zone doesn't eventually become another XP grind area and little else.

How about the shadow essences also being tied to destroying some boss mobs. Maybe the bosses could be immune to normal damage and you need to farm essences to craft weapons that can kill the bosses. This is something that all takes place within the zone like a raid so none of this low drop rate and then needing to find crafters and all that malarkey. Just a proper PvE adventure zone.

There could be other versions of Spindelskog:

Normal Raid: Solo/duo group scaled.
Hard Raid: Full group scaled.
Extreme Raid: Raid size groups scaled.

Greatly increased essence drop (but these essences cannot be taken from the zone so as not to unbalance the market) that we farm to a certain amount. Then there is a shadow forge within the zone protected by mini bosses that need to be killed before you can craft the shadow weapons that you then use on the boss.

I'll get my coat.
