    So I'm a casual player (balance this game between work and university) who has managed to hit 101-200 twice, once as a duo and the second time as a group of four of casual players (wiped 139 on duo, early/mid 161 on four man). It doesn't take as long as you'd think, maybe about 3-4 hours (2-4 sessions of playtime), to get from 51 to 101 and then about half an hour per 10 floors in 101+ as a full group. The block isn't nearly as bad as you're making it out to be and I really don't think that it should be changed for three reasons:

    1. It's challenge content, it requires more attention and dedication than the previous 100 floors do.

    2. Building off 1, the content requires a group that flows and communicates well together, a system that is built up in the floors leading up to 101. Matched parties usually lack this cadence and would likely spell the doom of many parties before they could get far into 101+.

    3. The current duty finder system for floors 1-100 would would become a new block that prevents most casual players from getting anywhere in 101+. You need a more structured group in 101+ with a tank and healer of some sorts to deal with the incoming damage and the current PotD match making doesn't form a normal group. Instead you get parties of 4 dps, 2+ healers or 2+ tanks, etc. In order to make a matched party work in 101+ you'd need to implement a regular duty finder system like we do for dungeons and that would just bring back long queue times which no one wants, or significantly dumb down the difficulty which ruins it for a lot of players who want a more challenging PotD.
