My average heroic run - and I'm talking solo LFD queues - has everyone averaging 860 ilevel, sometimes the occasional 880+ dps obliterating everything, to the point where some bosses aren't even getting to some mechanics.
Meanwhile I hop on my level 108 druid tank and everyone's scaled, plus I think there are genuine new people still, people asking about mechanics. Trying to teach dps to dps extra heads on Serpentrix because we can't just burn the green head and stuff like that...
I'm okay with dungeons being challenging, but I think it's not ideal to have a sense that once you enter heroics, the challenge decreases immensely.
For example, many deaths and wipes during the 101-109 dungeons, but as soon as I hit 110, groups are just melting shit and no fear of death at all anymore.
I don't know the answer here either - I don't want heroics to scale as well or have a fixed ilevel because I want gear progression to show, but I also don't want heroics to be faceroll while regulars arent/
