Crystal tower and parties challenge- why not?

1) Players will equip their best gear, but not their spiritbond gear

Because god forbid people aren't doing a dungeon with 40 ilvls more than the requirement.

Can be created a system of penalties, if party doesnt kill their bombs.

Thats already in there. Its called a wipe. Everyone dies when it happens.

It seems like you're just upset that you can't do LotA quickly. None of what you're suggesting will help with that. If you want to get through LotA quickly, then you should be asking for changes that promote cooperative play, not competitive. The fastest/best runs I've ever been in have been where all the alliances helped each other out and weren't competing against each other.

Dont tell me, that you want to be inside of the dungeon for hours. You want to clear it quick as anyone else.

I dont speak about speed runs, but about making dungeon more fun

I'm not talking about speed runs or being inside the raid for hours either. I'm saying that something like this wouldn't make LotA more fun or faster. When you encourage competitive play in an environment where its very easy to sabotage everyone else, it just won't end well. We have enough trolling and flaming in LotA already. We do not need to encourage more of it.

No problem.
Just do it that it get faster the more the people work together instead against each other.
The moment someone work against the alliance it should be a wipe. This would be real challenge.

Wipe or not wipe- yes, it is a challenge)

The best way to clear any group event is to work with your other players, not against them. If you see a party is struggling and your party is doing just fine, toss them a few extra heals or a raise to get them back on their feet, just for example.

I already see too many parties trying to "compete" with other parties in CT. The dungeon is 24 people vs. the enemies, not each party vs. each other. Anything to encourage parties bickering with each other even more than they do now isn't something I'd want to see.
