Trials of the Nine performs far better as Countdown or Survival than Elimination. I would much rather add Elimination to the rotation than have it be specifically that single mode.

In terms of reverting to 3 players per team, I also think that's a terrible idea. 4 players per team puts more of an emphasis on teamwork and in general I think having an extra person to talk to is fun.

Before we even think about making these changes, we need the original reward system. Adept weapons are much more of a chase than our current sorry excuse of flawless armor. I also think we should ditch the flawless armor in general and go back to wicked ornaments. If they want to keep flawless armor as their own reward, it'd be fine if they were a completely different armor set with their own unique ornaments.
