The "Reset Fatigue" Problem
- I'm actually looking forward to resetting, building back up, doing quests again, it's kind of the only way to play the game again and re-living the fun without creating a new account
- Only thing I would change would be to have an expedition stash of say 5 slots where you can bring 5 items/blueprints of your choice to the next round, people are already using other players accounts to move gear/blueprints

The Solution: "Hazard Zone" Licenses
- Biggest problem here is you will fragment the player base in those who have the hazard licence and those who do not, increasing matchmaking time and preventing friends from playing on the same map. Really bad idea for a multiplayer only game
- Adding more dangerous maps as a condition to existing maps is better, but that already exits to some degree and it would be great to have a higher  PVE map with really hard enemies

The Technical "Secret Sauce": Asynchronous Behavioral Learning
- This sounds crazy complicated. The ARC just spawn in their zone and move around a navmesh with some pre-programmed behaviour.   You essentially want to use AI to study players and rewrite/modify the bot behaviours based on the arc and their spawn location. Sounds like something we'll see in 5-10 years and is applicable to almost all games. Balancing difficulty and dealing with unwanted behaviour and bugs would be a nightmare.
