The points are difficult to answer, without knowledge of what the true intention of this mode is. If the mode was added to generate interest from the wider community, pre final shape... then I think this misses the mark by some way! IMHO: it doesn't make much sense to use the end-end game to generate player engagement and attract extra pre-orders etc... it may do the opposite. Or, if this is just an added end game option, aimed at a small player base. The encounters and loot need a revist; dcv bosses could have been used, with updated loot based upon that activity... that could have been something different, rather than tweaked encounters.
