You could even do a raid that, once anyone had cleared it, got 1 light level harder the following week for everyone attempting it. Then it would just be an endgame competition for the best of the best, purely for bragging rights. The initial balance would be upended by player ability, and not by somewhat arbitrary designer guesses as to what an appropriate difficulty should be.

They could even make a banner you get for completing the raid that reflected the light level you beat it at. Give people something to chase/brag about that doesn't impact everything else.

There would be a max through at which point you can no longer damage your enemies given the way the light system works.
