The answer is very simple - challenge.
Something like very hard 10-20man guild-dungeon with leaderboard and good rewards.

There will be new dungeon. But...
Devs could make it harder. They could give us better rewards (harder = more rewards)
But... NO.
And this is only one thing in a very long list of such staff.
"few people" - i think is not a so huge problem.
I think, first of all, the problem is in a choice of right way.
There is no competitive component in the game.
But there is a lot of people with tons of different experience. They could give good feedbacks. They could help devs to make better content. To create amazing dungeons. Hard PvE content. Leaderboards... etc...
Want a challenge? Ditch your BiS gear and play in the 12K range with players no higher IL than 13K.

In regards to rewards, it's important to remember that new Modules are consistently released throughout the year. Slowly increasing the quality of items each module is a must for this to work, if Mod15 was to bring in items substantially better than the previous Modules it would offer little to no use to take a look at that content. Mod13 items are and will still be relevant in the coming modules because of this so there is less of a feeling that you have grinded all those hours just to salvage that piece of gear that took 20 hours of game time and then start it all again.
If you make the game too hard...they will move on to new shores and NWO might suffer.
Such things need careful consideration, I also would like to see more challenging content, but I too care for casual folks who just want to relax after work. Maybe our Devs could implement a special difficulty level, that is easier than the original version of the instance and provides the same gear but with less item level and lesser equip bonus %'s. This exists in World of Warcraft, it's caller "Raider Finder" difficulty.

==================================================
If you wanted to make it hard like other MMOs where parties need to be on point with CC, agro management, DPS, healing....
Well that won't work because this game is so imbalanced and all over the place, if you really wanted to make "hard" content, then you'd only get one setup like we kinda do now, but the difference being that only 0.01% of those players will be able to do it. I only people that I know who want a challenge in this game could be counted on one hand. Not counting the people I force to come on my experiments.
and also the featured satirical comedic adventure "A Call for Heroes".
So, what is stopping up the game, so to speak?
1. Consistent developmental philosophy that permits styles of play (from uber PvPers to casual, solo RPers) in the classic DnD environment.
2. Commitment to quality on release, especially with regards to bugs/exploits/glitches.
3. Commitment to player developed content (whether streamers, foundry authors, forums, moderators, developer interaction, etc).
4. Clear pathway of progression, especially after level 70.
Guild--And the Imaginary Friends
1) Harder dungeons to make BiS equipment more difficult to obtain for the classes the devs have ignored for years.
Things it needs:
1) Actual class balancing.
2) A hold on new content until class balancing is done and thoroughly tested.
3) A re-emphasis on the foundry would be nice. It used to actually be fun, but I doubt I've played it in three years now.
4) Re-introduction of deleted dungeon spaces with worthwhile rewards for exploring them.
5) A rewrite of every broken boss encounter in MSP, TONG, CODG, and CR, getting rid of every boring/oppressive control-immunity-instadeath mechanic.
6) 24 hours' worth of spaces in the new professions delivery box instead of 9 spaces or whatever it is.
7) Devs that actually play the game so that they won't make nonsense decisions like increasing Aspect of the Serpent stacks.
8) Tooltips that actually, accurately tell us what "a chance" is, how much damage a power really does, and what effect an increase to a given stat will have when we are speccing/respeccing. Even roguelikes such as ADOM manage that. Example: the tooltip says Prey, the archery capstone, is a 40% increase in damage when it's actually 16.8%. Elsewhere people have to mine the code or do extensive testing to figure out what a tooltip means when it says a percentage: Does it mean an addition of 20% to, for instance, DR so that current DR of 20% will become 40% or a fractional addition to DR such that 20% becomes 24%? Who knows? No one, without testing.
9) Realistic level gates for content. No more sub 13k players in FBI or Svardborg or MSP.
10) Endgame content that reflects what the player base actually wants to do (mostly DPS) instead of requiring 3-4 support classes that people are only playing because badly designed content requires that party composition.
11) A THOROUGH REMOVAL OF THE RNG WHEREVER POSSIBLE INSTEAD OF MAKING IT THE ONLY REAL OPPONENT IN THE GAME AND INJECTING IT EVERYWHERE.
In long, a very, very lethal injection that guarantees painful, but near instant death.
I mean, that's what the devs want too, right?
