The completion is legit, you cant blame top players for using the tools they are given.
The blame is on who created a game where everyone can be everything as long as you are a DK.

"You cant blame top players" for all rolling the 2 OP classes and all rolling the same OP builds. You cant blame top players for farming the emperor title either.
Haha. Lame.

Sounds like jealousy to me.
Competitive players will test things until they find the optimal setup, its what they like doing and you cant blame them for doing what they like.
Its on the DEVs to design a game that is either balanced and not open to exploits.
The current problem with trials is that classes aren't even close to balanced, but even within a class - builds aren't balanced. The DKs and sorcs on the leaderboards at the moment are running very similar builds - you won't see much variation. When ZOS implements a dps check that won't allow 95% of builds and classes to succeed, you get what we currently have. It would be nice if they'd just make the fights HARD, rather than a complete failure if you aren't meeting 1000 dps or something eye-roll worthy. The latter (and current state) only fosters elitism and exclusion of classes and builds, which is hardly healthy for the longevity of the game.

Dps checks aren't the issue with the game. Every good zone should have a few dps checks. This not only encourages players to maximize potential output, but also forces them to play well and avoid deaths. A good dps check should prevent success if more than a few people in the raid die before the final few % of boss health. A Hardmode type dps check (endboss maybe?) should prevent success if any player dies at all.
Just checked the EU leaderboards.
The 4th and 2nd fastest clears for two of the trials have been completed by a group of 2 players.
1 sorc and 1 DK.
Zos looking at leader board: "Raid has all three classes as NB where never implemented, so thats ok, but it bothers me that they only need one templar... Templar healing must be OP, lets nerf it"
The very sad part of that "joke" is that I swear devs in some games must literally think that way. There's simply no other explanation for some of the stupid stuff that some game devs do (not saying ZoS, just in general). What's worse is that yes, you pretty much can't even get into a Trial right now as a NB unless it's a Guild run or group of friends. Day one was fine because people took just about anyone as long as they weren't tards, now it's all about get it done as fast as possible so no NB sorry.
I'm one of the players who has learned to deal with the shortcomings of NB's since the beginning and I still have high hopes for the class, maybe it's just me liking playing the underdog to prove others wrong or something. Unfortunately atm there isn't much I can prove to anyone about NB lol, oh except that I can sneak to EVERY Skyshard in Craglorn Delves solo without engaging a single mob, go NB! The irony is so can any other class, we just get +25% speed while crouching HA!!

Zaxq, the leaderboard position are unique per player. If the 2nd and 4th are comprised of only 2 players, it is because the people who they did it with had already registered a better time. They did it with 12 people like anybody else.
I'm ranking 5th on the NA leaderboard with only 2-3 partners at the same rank because I did it with people who ranked between 1 and 4th on previous runs and that run got a better time than the people who held 5th before our run.
