HArder will break the game.

Two things need to be fixed. Dungeon and story progression, GC Progression requirements, and the clueless elites that set requirements for CM, Prae and AK higher then is needed (perhaps due to lack of their own skill).

To get a base level 50 GC weapon, you need to complete the story, complete AK, and due rank 2 hunting logs. It can be difficult to run AK iwith arrogant players to complete the base dungeon. Mainly because some are clueless and rely on higher armor to complete it. Other wise a different dungeon need to be assigned to that GC rank up.

There are balancing issues. THe thing is the casual player is the majority and SE needs to make sure they are retained. Perhaps have more hard version dungeons with higher payouts on tomes for those set on it.
