Depending on your class at the time, this could be an extremely difficult fight or an extremely easy fight.
Paladin was insanely easy. Warrior was easy, and WHM was easy. RDM was insane, BLU and DRK could be difficult too.

On topic, I really hope that they do add something like this... there needs to be some kind of gating that keeps older stuff relevant while also allowing access to new content.
