Seeing the obvious stat discrepancies and the "missing tier" that is CT, witholding Crystal Tower was intentional because it would give players a wall to throw themselves at until 2.1 comes out. A less elegant version of WoW's overtuning C'thun to be mathematically unkillable without having extreme gating of content like Sunwell Plateau.
