Not sure what you were expecting... it is meant to be casual raid finder content. As time goes on and the playbase matures they can make the newer content harder but for now it will need to be fairly easy or it will just be badly implemented content. the majority of the playerbase is better off is they ease into this sort of content.

Not every group is downing it first try. This morning I heard a few people in shout who couldn't finish it. Sounds like you just got a good group or a lot of peeps were carried.
