Quote:The introduction of a difficulty slider means that 25 pug can complete a lvl70 x 25 instance on 'Easy' mode.
This is an assertion and not sufficiently supported by the available evidence. Firstly, there aren't easy modes: according to the information, there will be a normal mode and a hard mode. Nowhere does it say that Normal mode will be easy enough for a pick-up group.
Even presuming that it goes as you say, difficulty is not the biggest factor impeding raiding. People who don't raid generally don't do it because it's too hard. As I said before, changing the cap doesn't address the two most common causes of not raiding: time constraints and not wanting to be in a "zerg".
If anyone's engaging in a straw man argument here, it's you, for purporting that my initial statement was based solely on difficulty alone.
