Off the top of my head?

- Make all the Judge upgrade tokens sellable
- Drop significantly more Fragments
- Add in side upgrade pieces/tokens that apply greater buffs than simply Haste

What keeps BA alive even to this day is that every run makes you money. So for people who already enjoy that kind of content, they have more incentive to keep doing it even if it may not be the most efficient profit farm. DRS essentially having a cost require (gill or time) will likely render it dead content by Endwalker. Hell, every single Discord dedicated to it has gone extremely quiet since 5.5. Meanwhile, BA is still being run.
