Skrag Caves
I would suggest lowering the difficulty a little bit. For 2 reasons mainly.
One: You get the ability to enter the instance at level 10, assuming you complete the quest. Once inside, you find you have to fight 5 level 14 elites with just under 11k health. I agree that the caves should be difficult, but as it is now, a group of 5 level 14 players will not be able to kill even 1 of them. A group of 5 level 10s will get slaughtered. This is also in part due to the lack of better gear available.
Second: Reducing the difficulty would help alleviate the lack of gear. On this I would suggest there be 2 sets of rewards, a green set, and a blue set. The blue would still be harder to get, but with an added green set thats a bit easier to get would be nice, and would have the added benefit of not having to tweak the drop rate. Or even just lowering the difficulty and having a increased chance of green gear dropping would work.

Loot isn't trade able as gear would be too easy to farm. The best idea for caves is to have a worthwhile group with good gear so there is zero repairs and to do multiple runs to hopefully receive a mixture of items to then distribute at the end.
Antonok,
You won't get blue gear dropping only relics to craft that gear otherwise that would reduce spending on game which admins don't want. Caves aren't meant to be easy I'd suggest just waiting till your a slightly higher level or have good gear and don't take anyone in group who can't hold their own in a fight.
