This tier is not about high HPS or DPS requierments and I believe that is where allot of the "its way harder" is actually comming from. Tellign some one to look up thre ortation, gt tehm gear and meet the dps check is way simpler than needing them to have situational awareness and better reactions!
Allot of the "it's way harder to heal" comes from people either standing in or not reacting to bad things. Another thing is the fights seem to have been tuned with the mindset that peopel are use to there class and know it well enough to use the tools at there disposal. However the AVG raider in normal's now days it looks liek they have forgotten all there tools... I don't knwo how many times I see logs of prot wars with no shattering throw use, hardly any or no intercept's cast, no demo shout useage etc etc and that is TANKS ffs not using there tools! A normal raid should be tuned for the players to know there class and use all the tools while heroics should be tuned not only for all tools to be used but used perfectly!
The main issue is most have stopped looking into strats / watching vids and in general don't review there logs. Normal should not = faceroll don't do your homework thats what LFR is! However it should not = pin point precision like heroics shoudl either... but having a hard time on kills then having a handfull of raiders half assing and not using all the tools should = the norm for normals as it should be NORMAL that they understand how to use there toon if they are raiding!

Yes thats 9 manning the bosses up to Ji-kun since one raider had not logged in yet and we just started pulling! It's not a hard tier per say if you understand the fights and peoepl understand how to use there toons! As well the casual argument for being bad has 0 merit as far as I'm ocncerned...we raid 4 hours a week... you don't get much more casual and still raid normals!
So far 9/10 the tier is only as hard as you make it on yourslef.... wont even get started on guilds trying to copy top end guild strats and not budging on the strat even though it's clearly not for them!
