    I am not sure a beefier crystal tower will work out. I remember reading that the original tower was supposed to have been much more difficult, but the developers decided to scale it back because they knew 24 random strangers wouldn't be completely in sync with each other for strategies and knowing how everyone plays (compared to the 8 man statics that we see today). Seeing how most players today can't even do the simplest things like having the off tank smash spawned adds so the healer doesn't die, I am not confident that a harder CT would go over well.

    CT is fine as it is now; each alliance having a simple role, but they better execute it with near perfection.

    Why CT was delayed from being released with 2.0 and pushed back to 2.1. The gear (ilvl 80) was meant as a step up for coil. DL to CT, CT to coil. But due to being delayed one update that gear progression got thrown out of sync and ended up with ilvl 80 gear when the majority where at or near full ilvl 90 from myth and coil.

    Personally (and I expect some others would agree) putting it in at its difficulty for 2.0, then nerfing it with 2.1 would have more than accceptable.

    Crystal Tower should stay, I want Hardcore content like EXs and coils gone. Or not be required for any future story content ever. (Which Coil won't be according to quest text.) Focus more on making the story better in the meantime, we don't need more hardcore (or PVP) content.
