In a similar vein, I remember in Pandaria and Warlords of Boredom they gated Heroic Dungeons in the LFD tool behind achieving Silver in the Proving Grounds for your role.

To which a ton of (Mostly DPS mains) cried about how it was too hard...

Meanwhile, I was able to get Gold in the Tank and Healer with Silver in the DPS as a Healer. I got Gold in the Tank, DPS and Healer ones as a Tank. While as a DPS I got gold in the DPS and Healer ones with Silver in Tank.

Due to how incredibly easy the Proving Grounds actually were... Which is a show in just how garbage your average PuG group was... (I also remember one person in my guild complaining it was impossible for her class to beat Silver... Then another of my, guild mates leveled up a character of the same class and found that you could complete the entire 10 stages with a single skill usage...)
