Take your e-egos and your e-peens and your tired tired old arguments about raids vs small groups and go someplace far, far away from this thread. It is absolutely irrelevent.
Later posts made it seem more like a toggle the party leader sets as they zone. Also, I haven't seen any mention of elite levels for the larger instances. It is quite possible there is no difficulty setting on anything larger then 5-man.
Well there will be more to it then some kind of grueling ultra leveling mararthon. Look, you are going to have some spread in leveling speed. In some cases it's going to be quite extream, as the completionists fly back and forth over outland doing obscure fedex quests, and the altitis players hop back and forth to maximise rest XP. You could easily have a 3-5 month gap in people dinging 70 on their mains. Then, if the encounters are truely difficult, you have a 1-2 month spread as people gear up their arcane resist or w/e. By the time all of that is done, you will have had SOME atterition. And the people who got there first will be ready to start rotating out, as they will have most of the loot in the zone.
