What about really, really hard solo events instead of tournaments

Like a solo heroic mini-AAT raid or super GW that changes slightly from event to event to release new toons. Takes a bit of planning, thinking, quite a few different teams and doesn't take 3 hours.

Seems more in line w what the game use to be. Gives something to work towards unlike tournaments which the vast majority will never place in ever due to the established players taking the very limited top spots.
