Hardcore players!

I think the approach they took was releasing new content at higher difficulty and slowly lowering it over time. If you remember last year, Voidwatch was rough, and you need a good LS to beat it, even with all the temp items, it was not a walk in the park battle like how it is now. Barely any shouts, and hardly any people want to join, deathga was common occurrence, and now it is very accessible to all - though some NMs still able to decimate alliance if it's not being handled properly. I am fine with select few get a chance to tackle it first, so they can share strategy and whatnot online. As long as SE will make it very accessible a few months later so that all can tackle it with lower difficulty. This way the hardcore get to gloat first for getting the first dip and the rest of us will laugh at them at the end when we also get our gears
