There is really no reason to nerf the difficulty given how easily AL Players can increase their power - by forming parties, upgrading items, awakening items, using elixirs... and did I mention forming a party?
Also, given that it is a free to play event with a free to enter portal the difficulty is justified insofar as it is the only real obstacle to everyone owning all of the trade-friendly rewards that the Crypt of Renown has to offer.
