In the spirit of 'dryness prevention' you've recently recognised the importance of and implemented in the DT2 bosses, any thoughts on a revisit of The Gauntlet, a piece of content that takes 60(ish) hours on rate for the main event (Enh Weapon Seed).

Not that uncommon to see people go 4x dry (my IGN, wink wink nudge nudge) which puts it at a mammoth 200+ hr grind.

Thoughts on exchanging other seeds (armour and weapon namely) for an Enh with Bryn or another NPC? Ideally, the standard crystal weapon seeds attained through CG would have been unique, separate to those bought through LMS, etc. but here we are.

Posts like this should get more traction.

There's two important points you missed:
1) an enhanced seed is an entry item for iron players (like me) to open the rest of the game.
2) 50% of players have a sub-40 hour grind (277kc), while 22% of players have a 90+ hour grind.

For 22% of players needing an entry item into late game having a 90+ hour grind (assuming high skill level to complete on that timeline) makes no sense. So many burnout posts coming from a meaningful share of community.

Jagex really needs to revisit dryness prevention of 1st enhanced.

My personal suggestion would be you can talk to NPC after 600kc if you have not already received a weapon seed. Prevents price deflation and protects ~20% of players.
