The disapointment that is Alexander

Usually one, maybe two new mechanics on Mythic. Story(lfr) they *remove* mechanics present in normal and heroic. Normal and heroic are just numbers difference.

I haven't played WoD at all, but unless something has changed in the way they design their mythic fights those one or two new mechanics typically completely change the entire fight. They added things to A1/2 in Savage but it barely changes the flow of the fight at all, which is the issue. They're just slightly beefier versions of their normal counterparts instead of being unique encounters.

Compare, say, heroic (or mythic now I guess?) Dark Shamans, Malkorok, Thok, Siegecrafter, etc etc to their normal (or heroic now... these ridiculous name changes) versions and although it's only a few tweaked mechanics they completely changed the entire encounter and made it very challenging.

The best part is, the names were changed, solely because people didn't like being told that LFR was kid-gloves. So now, LFR is "normal" even if still fills the exact same gameplay niche as it did before.

To nitpick, Raid Finder is still Raid Finder. The difficulty formerly known as Flex became Normal.

A nitpick worth making, as I didn't know that, specifically, was the case.
