(Yeah, I don't know where it came from either. It was 3 a.m.)
Rudolf Hess may be why you were confused.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
I don't think they're ever going to use a TF or trial that's locked behind a story arc unfortunately.
So that kills Hess, Hannon, CoT.
Besides, the real issue doesn't lay in lack of variety for hero side, if you catch my drift.

The Shard TFs are epically long and there would be a player revolt if they were included despite the fact that a handful of players might like it.
The requirement for exactly 8 teammates with no disconnects for the Caverns of Transcendence makes using that problematic.
As mentioned above, Hess and Hannon are contact chain locked and would cause all sorts of angst over, "why won't the contact talk to me!"
The Ouroboros TFs are not really TFs. They're just a mission-arc using TF-mode as if it were a Flashback.
Now, the Abandoned Sewers Trial... as much a people hate it and it's very failable with a PuG... I'd like to see that thrown in the mix. It would force people to learn how to actually do it successfully and well.

Quaterfield I'll grant you, but the other three really aren't all that much longer than the others. Maybe back when you didn't have umpteen zillion zone teleport options or get jetpacks at the bottom of cereal boxes they were, but not anymore.|

It seems like a lot of the Weekly Strike Targets are hitting the same Task Force over and over again. Now granted, on the villain side that's unavoidable given that there are a lot fewer Strike Forces there altogether. But it seems like there ought to be more suitable TFs on the hero side—every couple of months, the same ones come around again.
) What about the Ouroboros TFs? (Though granted their low merit rewards would seem insufficient even doubled.) If the Eden Trial can come up repeatedly, where's the love for the Abandoned Sewer Trial? Cavern of Transcendence? Katie Hannon? Rudolf Hess?
Why haven't any of the Shadow Shard TFs been WSTs, for instance? (Well, okay, the player base might revolt if Dr. Quaterfield was chosen, but I still think it would be worth it just to watch all the forum posters erupt in foaming apoplexy.
The great thing about the Weekly Strike Targets is that it makes it a lot easier to find teams for particular TFs for a week, but it seems to be most of the TFs chosen are the more popular ones. I'd like to see some of the less-commonly-assayed ones get a shot at it too.
