There are ways to gear people up faster than other groups. Fill a group with half alt characters. Make it so those alts can't roll on gear over mains and then on progression nights have all mains.

Maybe it would've been best if SE went the "CT" route with previous turns in the new patches. Turn 1-5 set at a CT level while turn 6+ is still normal. New/unskilled players get to see the story and fight, older/skilled players have a new toy to play with, everyone wins.
Actually...I want flex raid.
It's not uncommon for the "best" few groups to clear content pretty quickly, that's just how it works. BG spents tons of money on crafting and overmelding gear, farming all the BIS they could, etc. They deserve their win.
You know, iL95 doesn't mean 'not good'. At iL95 you could be substantially optimized for specific stats, a Bard with just enough accuracy and near 600 crit for example. I've looked at the new equipment, some of it is actually pretty bad in regards to stat stacking. Going the full iLwhatever-number-is-max doesn't do you any favors, not that it did before 2.2.
if the fight is in any way similar to the 1.0 version, this is in no way suprising.
