To me, the issue with Steps of Faith wasn't one of difficulty (even it was a trial that couldn't be facerolled through), but the fact that it was just badly designed. If you'd get into a DF group that'd either not have enough dps, or the ability to do the dragonkillers properly, you'd still have to wait until the dragon reached the end of the bridge before the fight would result in a wipe.

Not really going to dig into this too much, but you really have no idea how bad Gordias was to the raiding community. The Gordias tier didn't have "plenty of raid groups" coming together, it actually reduced the active raiding population by quite a bit.
The group of players standing at the Gordias entrance, on reset day, would shrink with every following week (this was back when going to the entrance was still a requirement to going into Alexander), and the majority of the statics I knew about ended up falling apart on A3S.

You're probably right about Midas, but I stopped raiding for that tier, and didn't go back to it until the release of Creator.

OT: I'm happy with the fact that they're choosing to keep the difficulty of Sigmascape similar to Deltascape, if they're using v3/4s as a baseline. I do think they could make the first two floors a tiny bit harder, though.
