Remove the raise restriction and eviction upon full wipe, redesign the relatively few(?) mechanics that require baiting, rescale DPS checks to be 24 players + (0.5 to 0.75) * number of players past 24… and I think you'd get something that six knowledgable, coordinated light parties could help drag others through — or at least prog more successfully and with more fun than, "lol, snowballs/fireballs, gg tyfp."

(I haven't done BA, so I don't have a feel for what "carryable" means there.)
