I was actually at the fanfest and the way it was set up, you literally had to stand in a line of up to an hour or more on the first day, get to the front possibly get paired with people you may or may not know, have premade characters possibly on an unfamiliar class and have only 5 min to set up the hotbar, camera etc, so yeah, I assume they made it a bit lite with that in consideration. It was fun as heck though, can't wait for everyone to get to play the real fight. I'd say that with the additional handicap in mind it was on par with the average hard mode iteration of the current primals when actually playing it.
