My Suggestions

Ideally, Monster can be as short as 1.5 hours (that's really pushing it) to 2 hours.

Unfortunately, cheaters make this a bit less expedient. Bugs crop things up (no fault to the players) and people D/C all the time (like me).

Item is a set time limit, and we even get extensions regularly because of the sheer number of people there.

Trivia is... well it's trivia. *shrugs* So is Mass PVP.

So perhaps the options for reducing time is dropping a trial or have less people attend?

Put a person in a room full of pissed off monsters. What class do you pick?

Did you pick Sniper? Good, 'cause they're REALLY GOOD AT KILLING MONSTERS, of which there are A LOT of in ToH.

Do you say, put in a battle priest? Maybe if it's well geared, and you're really mentally prepared.

Hell, let's just not talk about classes. Let's bring in a similar concept, reflecting Valk to death. Is that fair / balanced? Maybe, maybe not. Who cares?

It's the easiest way to kill it, given the server environment. Adapt, or don't. It's all fine and dandy you want to take a Baby Sage and pwn Item + PVP, until you find out it really sucks at both of those. Still wanna take it? Adapt your gears and playstyle, or GTFO.
