Thread: 3.0 and Raiding.

I'd say it's fairly obvious that SE are adopting something akin to WoW's raiding philosophy. They want an easier version of the raid to ensure that everyone gets to experience the content whilst maintaining a harder version for those that want a challenge. As long as the easier mode still requires coordination and the hard mode isn't on savage difficulty I'm quite happy with the setup.

This information came from the same twitter post that claimed Alex HM is gonna be harder than Savage and can thereby be assumed to be false.
