Rise of Tiamat Needs Some Adjusting (on XBox)?

I come to find that there is rarely more than 1 instance (i.e. less than 25 people even bothering) and many of those aren't geared to be able to do enough damage in the time allotted (most are 1800 to 2200).
Way too many failed attempts to count this past week. Not a single win. And the outlook is getting bleaker and bleaker as less and less people are bothering to show up to try.
I sort of understand why. Other than the 100+ Linu's Favors that I need for the last two boons, there really isn't any reason to do this encounter. The drops, as rare as they are, just aren't tempting for well geared characters (it is a T1 event).
End result is no incentive for high-geared people to bother with it, and the lower geared people aren't able to contribute enough in the time allotted.
That leaves trading Coffers/Dragon Empire Treasure for Linu's Favors? That is going to be a long, long grind. Can't really justify grinding for a year (or more) for such a small stat increase. And, with the adjusted AD generation options now, buying that many coffers (like 10,000?) just isn't going to be feasible.
So, my question is how are people to get those last boons? Realistically? Killing Tiamat 100+ times was a long enough prospect, but that was assuming it could be beaten a couple times a day.
If there aren't going to be any other ways to get Linu's Favors, perhaps Tiamat needs to be adjusted so that 1800~2200 gear score people can actually contribute to it (it is supposed to be T1 after all), rebrand it as a T2 event (min 2300 gear score to get in?), extend the time, or add something to the drop list that will entice higher gear score people to join in on the "fun". Otherwise, Tiamat will win by default every hour, when no one bothers to show up any more.
Note: have the devs check the recent win/loss numbers, as well as total number of instances spawned each hour. Stats won't lie. Tiamat is getting bored.

I only want favors for the last two boons but I think I'll just leave it. The mild stat increase isn't worth all that hassle.

It is reachable...no?
I just have 1 boon left in Sharandar...be done Monday and 1 boon left in IWD...be done October 28th.
As for WOD...pre-MOD 6, I hastily spent 30 Linu's I wish hadn't and that's why I am in this situation.
I did notice if you farmed HE and dragons, they do award more coffers...at least that's my experience.
Lack of RI amongst the participants seems to be the main problem - 2600+GS SW with 2000 ARP - I think you have to actually try to get it that low.......DPS classes with 3-4k ARP and slotting R8 radiants so they can hit those heads with a more powerful sponge!
Closest I've had recently we had 3 1/2 runs at the heads but basically had them all to 25% when the timer ran out so well short of DPS with meaningful RI.
In my usual playtime (UK say 8-11pm weekdays) there seems to be 3 or 4 instances of Tiamat so I don't rate the chances of success much but I'll be back there tonight for 2 or 3 goes.
