Time invested should result in better rewards and more difficult content too. Where are all of a sudden the weekly dungeons and raids for guaranteed pinnacles?
The only rewarding activities seem to be solo ops and pinnacle ops. And even then you need to run a bunch for a pinnacle to drop.
Solstice was nice for some guaranteed pinnacle drops but we need more weekly activities with guaranteed pinnacles.
If you reach the lighthouse, finish the new raid, finish the weekly raid completely, finish the weekly dungeon completely, finish mythic / ultimate content or like these seasonal events it should drop guaranteed pinnacles.

I generally like how Solo Ops is formulated. About 5 minute investment for a drop. It allows me to run a Solo Op if I have some downtime between activities. In general, the loot pool is rather dull, so its really only use is the power number. The ratio of power should generally scale to other activities for greater time investment... Or maybe solo ops should be reduced only be a +1 or +2? Some of the shortest Solo Op locations may be revisited with a balance patch, but I think around 5 minutes is the target. I just hope that they dont do what Salt Mines does, where you are just waiting for adds to trickle out and kill before you can move on. I have always kind of liked the way that the pinnacles would rotate through many different activities each week, and highlight different dungeons and raids. This helped increase the interest and population for those activities, and it made it easy to LFG a group on weeks where they were highlighted. Now, its hard to find a group for anything outside of Portal farming.
