If anything, the only parameter that should be locked is difficulty. Best option would different content, same difficulty, different (complementary) reward.

Now I realize you were replying to someone and I did not go up through the whole conversation, but your post sums well the general, and wrong, thought that people are asking for an easier way to obtain the same thing.
I think some people are asking for same content, lesser difficulty, less reward. This will allow people with smaller static playing groups to see the same content Yoshi-P and his team has been working tirelessly to provide but also prevent the "cheapening" of the fight for those who actually do it as a full blown 8-man group.

It's only beneficial to the longevity of the game to give more people with different playstyles and party preferences more things to do.
