AK's difficulty is in a good place now, and if it's going to be adjusted it should be increased a bit, not decreased. Doing AK as a fresh 50 was fun and challenging, but totally doable. I think it'd be a shame to nerf it for people who are just now hitting 50 and haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
Yes you can. They did it when they made it so you couldn't just run through AK, let the tank die, and then raise him right before the boss battle. This is going to be more of the same strain of making speed runs not-possible or less-rewarding if there is an actual reason to fight all the trash mobs.
