- harder (again TBC were way harder)
- replayability (on this, maybe the challenge mode will incite some replayability)
but overall, i feel the 5 man content will be explored far more quickly in MoP than it has in TBC. It's easier, shorter, and there are less. Add to that it's nowadays easier to form a group via group finder (not that is a bad thing), only the challenge mode will offer some replayability for those players with a competitive spirit.
I know they are other content than 5-man, the most important one would be pet battle, but it's an MMO, player like to play together. 5 man is the easiest and fastest way to get a multiplayer gaming experiance in that game. That is why it's so popular.
Some people may like how the 5 man heroics are currently design, but still, i'm kind concern that this content will get old real fast. MAybe the challenge mode will advert this?
