The changes necessary aren't difficult. I have to believe that if they wanted to change this, in any way, they would have already.

Or at least, responded with such intention. It is of course more than one guy running this game and decisions aren't made lightly but this isn't a weighty decision.

To be truthful, having to repeat the same run several dozen times is going to do a lot more damage to the game than worrying about how quickly people gear.

Suppose that all the trash combined dropped tokens (I really think tokens are the best option) in an equal amount to half the total that all bosses combined dropped. Speed running would technically be faster, if you were completely confident in your group. However, if your group wipes, as can happen, clearing the trash gains in efficiency.
