The game is not easy, every long time player just became a bit better.

There is also the usual scaling problem in Low Level content due to power creep, but that's still the same since I started in SB.
Yes, you can queue in for leveling roulett without a healer and clear ist, but that was already possible in SHB and SB.

The best example that the game is not becoming easier is the alliance raid. Just compare a CT one with the HW.
Both are "old" content but the difference in difficulty is huge.

But still, you hear horror story's about the CT.
