Make the difficulty constant and rewards worth it. Motivation is the biggest problem for many people.

- the rewards are so short lived the challenge isn't worth it. (better easier to get gear next month)

I would spend months and months on really challenging content if I knew the challenge would remain at a constant level and the rewards had long term value. but when you look at the points above. why bother?

zero motivation.
