Hidden Gorge has a lot of room for improvement IMO and I don't think a bigger carrot on the stick is going to be enough to get activity like FL.
attendance dropped fast because ppl got all the rewards they wanted already. in the first week, ppl were queuing all night non stop 4-5 am in the morning unlike frontlines. however daily challenges reward, EXP, is forever. ppl will want exp forever.
