It doesn't matter if its a script, and obviously we have adapted since we clear everything every week. They should allow for the groups who can kill or push extremely fast to do so. We worked for the gear, but are then told "haha just slow or stop with that, because its to fast."
It's a perspective thing. Your chance of wiping is drastically lower when you outgear something, and it's not just because you would otherwise be able to kill it faster. Your chances of wiping to things thanks to higher stats is significantly lowered (partly due to better heals and tanking potential), as the danger presented is much less of a "danger" in most cases. While there can be reasons for people to go back to lower tier content, it still means you're doing otherwise trivial content because you won't wipe (probably) when you adapt to the wait portions. It's the way the fights were designed for the intended audience. You overgearing them automatically makes you NOT the intended audience.

Does that mean it's perfect as is? Of course not, but you're not exactly prevented from doing them. Is it a big deal? Only if you think your e-peen needs attention so that you can faceroll harder.
