Instance Design in Wrath

[Jester]

You're not misunderstanding anything except that was the point I was making exactly.:PMy point was most guilds wouldn't have completed ulduar with the classic WoW and BC instance design of no easy mode.

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?
