They'd never do it. It'd be WoW with Proving Ground Silver all over again, some players would actually never beat it and would quit over it. Rather than improve or admit to any fault, we'd have walls of threads about how overtuned it is. Even now people claim SSS is overtuned, while I'm 40 sec or so left on the timer for EX and consider myself a fairly average player with a lot to improve on in actual fights. Or those players who rant about groups with ilv requirements over the minimum when the game is raining 450 on you and they can't be bother to put minimal effort into a character before joining an endgame content group.

It's a sad fact that MMO's are intentionally designed that the good players carry the bad ones who can't be bothered, so they happily keep paying a sub.
