Actually a game called dragon souls does this. Normal is easier and between rounds you regen some health. The hard mode doubles gold earned but no regen of health, etc. Token payouts don't change. I don't always finish hard but can usually earn more gold. Why wouldn't this work for GoH? The games are fairly similar just less control over battles. They actually cater more to the players. I'm level 96 and plenty of credits. Gear on dragon souls is used just like this. A lot of similarities. Guilds, rotating challenges. Gear is the bottleneck there because takes 50 of stuff just like here. GoH is better overall but could learn some things from them.
