My suggestion was merely to stop extreme haggling, like level 10s in plat. I would probably aim for it to be unlocked when the player is about the level to beat the first creature, this wasn't a very good idea and I guess the re-balancing could be an issue, even though it doesn't seem that when you do re-balance it changes it much.
To Crimson, I used to try challenges without the min thing and always get some really low levels. So to try to avoid that I'd use the min level requirement and proceed to wait for over three hours of not being able to get started, then decide to watch something and come back ~20 minutes later to learn that the challenge was failed. Even with a guild and better yet, chatzy I would sometimes find it difficult to get a full group of challengers when I was more going for an in-complete run (Like I assume you did with Rage Duo and Group).
So after thinking about it, I guess the old system was better as it didn't stop higher levels from helping lower levels if they wanted to, but still allowed you to fairly go as far as your dps allowed. Really the only thing I used to think was critical was some sort of inspection (Just because I don't like the idea of needing to rely on a third party website to organize something like this) or risk a long wait; and an option to make a sound, toggle-able separate of music and effects that will sound when a challenge you're que'd in is starting so that you can actually take part in it without checking back every couple of minutes.
I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds by suggesting this, and I mean no disrespect but I have another suggestion for Ray. To avoid this kind of backlash from the community for updates like this one I think you should make a forum thread where you tell us what you plan (preferably before you actually start on them) and let the community talk about it amongst themselves first. I've heard you say many people were complaining about lower levels being carried, but did they actually want YOU to do something about it? This change seems weird to me and a lot of others as you've already seen and this may be able to greatly reduce the chances of something like this happening again.
Once again sorry if I'm overstepping my limits by suggesting that, but I do think it'd be a good way to get an idea of what the community would actually like.
