We have faced trials and danger, threats to our world and our way of life. And yet, we persevere. We are the Horde. We will not let anything break our spirits!"
What is with all these stupid Polls with just 2 options and it's always complete opposites ....
I'm going to Vote to easy, but it's not by much at all... Some of the bosses still have some interesting and tricky mechanics that without performing the fight correctly can be disastrous (Rattlegore, Lillian Voss etc), and some trash can require good interrupts or the tank popping some kind of CD unless your healer is exceptional.
So Yes I do think they're 'to easy', but honestly it's not by much, if the difficulty was just slightly higher it would be perfect.
Time for challenge modes then i guess? awesome! :L)
I think the heroics are fine for the time being, my only concern is that a tier two down the line we'll be murdering bosses in a matter of seconds á la Wrath and very late Cataclysm. Fortunately there are some fun mechanics that you can't just afk your way through, which should keep things enjoyable, but I'm just a tad concerned that gear scaling will overtake them very quickly.
It'd be a shame if we ended up with a huge gulf between "boringly easy heroics" and "brutally punishing challenge modes". I feel like there's a middle band of players who'd be left rather unsatisfied if that were the case.
For how long will the challenge modes actually be challenging?

ret healing a heroic just hours after dinging 90 with very very low gear level... I do not think that heroics should be insanely challenging but this is silly

Considering the Gear level is normalized and after doing a few they are extremely punishing ... A very long time?
Even when people figure out perfect comps for certain dungeons and upload Youtube Videos of how it's done, it's still going to be a long time before any form of average player comes even close to Gold.
Well well well look at this.
People whined to hell in wotlk because of 5 man content being extremely faceroll. Blizzard makes heroics harder in cataclysm and people proceed to whine that they don't wanna spend 45min - 1hour in an heroic and that they're hard.
Blizzard warned before MoP that it's heroics would be somewhere between wotlk and cata (who are we kidding, they're wotlk lvl). And now people whine?

Nothing lasts forever, as they say.
But at least I can casually play Classic and remember when MMORPGs were good.
