From an outside, not even 60 perspective, I like what they're proposing. My main mmo is the same - story mode was challenging initially, but without nerfs and a couple of people who knew how to do the bosses were easy to explain and take a new group through, or could be done in completely new group in a couple of hours with a few wipes.

I played in 2.3 era, and hit 50 during that time. The reason I let my sub lapse was that as a new player it was impossible to get a static that wanted someone who hadn't cleared T5, and T5 couldn't really be plugged without paying for a carry, meaning a significant portion of content was out of reach. With Alex, it looks as if anyone will be able to do the raids without too much difficulty, and those who really want to progress will have Savage to do this in too.
