Seems I'm not the only one with this line of thinking. Posted elsewhere:
. . . does anyone else read this as: "Complete the Trial, and a zone-wide Rularuu invasion will occur" such as the Zombie or Rikti Invasions?
[Someone expressed doubt, stating the context of the announcement was that we are DEpowering Rularuu with our success.]
Hmm, what about the reverse then? FAIL the Cathedral, and an invasion occurs?
But, really, how about the Lady Grey Tastrike Force? Completing it triggers a Rikti Invasion, correct? How does that make sense? Or rather, how is that any different than completing the Cathedral of Pain to trigger a Rularuu Invasion?
[Same person followed up with statement to the effect that there are vocal players who don't like invasion events.]
I've noticed a few players who speak against zone-wide events such as that for lag/performance reasons, as well as stating they don't find them enjoyable . . . but I've also seen quite a few posts by users asking for the old Rularuu Invasions of Issue 2 (or was it Issue 1?) to return.
Assuming invasions are being planned:
Triggering the invasion with a failed attempt of the Cathedral, without a back-up timer to counter constant back-to-back invasions, could actually be a really devastating griefing tool.
Considering how difficult the Cathedral has been [Redacted], triggering the Invasion from the successful completion of the Cathedral will reduce their likelihood substantially.
[Redacted] Soon, we will hopefully have our answer, though.

Even when I used to get reduced to slideshows, on my older hardware during invasions, I was all in favor of them. 
I would find this... appealing!

I hope it's not a general invasion. Remember how terrible those were back in the day? Log and be dead before the loading screen cleared.

And wouldn't it then also be logical to state that, even with limited power, Rularuu could retaliate as well?
Even if it's not zone-wide retaliation. Maybe if they just retaliate in the base you launched the Cathedral from. That would be fun, no? PvE Base Raid!
That...is an interesting idea! Even if they don't use it here, I'd like to see something like that put in the game.
Of course it would have to have a voluntary flag, yadda yadda details yadda.
Dec out.
