Instance Design in Wrath

[Sir_Die_alot]

But you're assuming (in this counterfactual, only-one-difficulty world) that the hard mode is the "real" mode, and that the easy mode would simply be deleted. Wouldn't it be much more reasonable to assume, given their goals and past instance design, that they would have made the bosses somewhere in the middle in terms of difficulty? Probably ramping up from a few easy initial bosses to a middle-hard by the end, possibly with an Algalon "super challenge" boss for the elite?

Past instance design like Kael and Vashj? Magtheridon? Razorgore and Vael? Pre WOTLK they didn't have a problem putting in serious blocks that completely halted progression, though they later nerfed those in BC for the bad idea they were. So maybe NOW they wouldn't do that but that's the point.:)
