Maybe a temporary upgrade for more challenge and keep players trying:
1 - pick the snapshot (doesn't matter is meh, for now) and the original time;
2 - put some player to get the 'best clear time' in a reasonable fashion (yep, now they need a human or a very well designed algorhitm);
3 - define a considerable reward for that best time, lets say, 20x each material;
4 - define tiers between 'original' (8x reward) and 'optimal', with intermediate rewards (+4x) 'till the max;
This kind of game loves tiered levels and rewards, so why not add a new one?
Doesn't have to be always mats. Maybe experience in a week? Socket a random jewlery? Uh? Uh?
(yeah, something entirely new across the game mechanics? now we are talking efforts on challenges)
For the first 3 weeks in CRs, I just keep a blindly spamming of skills for 1 - 3 runs, beat the minimum time needed, get materials and leave.
I would come back if better results awarded some extra items. I'm not interested in leader boards. I'm sure a lot of people would get some fun looking for actual rewards for the character progress.
Just as I will spend some weeks in the new season (beat the booooring set dungeons, ykes) for the extra tab, which is a real usable reward (IMHO)
