3rd Ascendancy Flaw - that unjustifiably wastes time

While in the 3rd Ascendancy Trial of Sekhema,
I walked into a timed trial that had ALREADY STARTED before I had even done anything.
Naturally the timer ends and I get booted from the trial.
- Now I have to go farm for another Djinn Barya.

What a waste of time. Why make the Djinn Barya a consumable?

Certain classes already have issues with the trial. This is a huge flaw in design.
Sure I'll farm and get another Djinn Barya and breeze it in one go (as I am a witch). But it's such a stupid way to punish the player.
"Here you did everything you were suppose to, now eat doodoo." If I was a warrior I would be pissed.
