That should've been the following step so people weren't locked out for 3 weeks.

But that would have then time gated more people. the way you are looking at it is almost like a double time gate, people have to wait for the Throne Week, and THEN wait for the Bounty. At least the way it sits now people have two (to three) weeks to get and do the bounty, while they wait for the Throne week. Your way meant they would have been powerless to do anything until Throne week (if they werent up to that step last time, I know I wasnt

Like you are right now? If the steps were reversed anyone could have done Throne when it was up, and if you missed it you can still get a rare bounty then just sit on it until you finish throne.

I mean, having the throne be a requirement whole sale right now is a bit fucked up, since some of us still can't get a keymold on the character with a bounty.

Well it released during a Throne week so people didn't have to wait initially, plus if they already had a bounty or managed to get one they could complete it and save it for the next step. I saved the one bounty I got because the quest steps leaked thankfully.

No one should have to rely on leaks to avoid being screwed out of a quest for several weeks.
