I kinda miss the days where it took a month to get world first kills.

Well, that depends on why. If it's simply not possible to clear day 1 because of gear, then I don't think that's a good thing. That's why I think Ultimates are perfect because they're simply challenging, not locked or gated by needing several weeks of gear like what happened back in Alexander savage.

That's basically the only reason bosses ever took that long. You either needed to farm gear from that raid first to progress further, needed specific gear (in games that had elemental resistances for example), it was bugged (hello Twisters) or you needed to do the most obscure things to even summon it in the first place.
The bosses that took this long to kill were not only gear gated but came out at a time where mmos were new so pretty much everyone was absolutely terrible at the game.
