Removing hauntlet as the energy drop is a big move and would certainly upset many so hauntlet can still remain as the best place to farm energy. Here, hauntlet (especially the 1st room) is not just for Undergeared players with no speed set/always get left behind in 81 pve maps, it is also for those who are lower levels. Unless you mean making all maps drop as much energy as hauntlet (scaling to their level) then maybe it could be an option otherwise no.
And nah, more people (not less) would run 81 maps if they drop both energy and gold. Wouldn't be pointless, the actual reason it is pointless is exactly because it doesn't drop as much energy as hauntlet.
Even now event runners don't run 81 maps during event as they don't drop as much energy so if anything, this would only improve the current situation and not make it worse which is my point.
