In my opinion, focused weapons should drop as a guaranteed shiny at -50 for each completion, not just the first clear. I also think gear tier should be determined by difficulty. Normal is tier 1, Advanced is tier 2, Expert is tier 3, Master is tier 4, Grandmaster is tier 4 mainly with chances of tier 5, and Ultimate is tier 5. Then you tie the amount of drops to the grade score, naked runs (no modifiers) give base amount of drops and A+ runs (lots of modifiers) give more drops. This system change would help players get better tier gear to allow them to tackle higher difficulties and would reward players for making activities more difficult.
