    Yoshi actually said the content is NOT easy just because it was beaten quickly. Its like saying that running a mile in less than 4 minutes is easy because Roger Bannister did it in 1954 (yes of course I googled that).

    We had the world 4th on my server for 13, and then I think 2 groups nipped their heels like 1 or 2 weeks later. For a couple of weeks 2-3 more kills popped in, then it was dead quiet until the few weeks before 2.5 wherein 5 or 6 more groups got their 13 clear. It was fairly challenging, for reals. To the above poster's point, everyone who has a clear in week 11-15 (like my group) and is running their mouth about how easy it is... yeah dude, because you got to see videos of it and saw exactly what to do to win. Its still an accomplishment, getting 8 people to get their shit together to meet the checks and execute, but unless you devised a strategy from scratch yourself, you can't claim that the encounter was simple or not challenging in its entirety.

    TO OP's point, I think that we will find the line is straddled a lot closer to the middle than this panic warrants. Story mode will probably have their insta-kill mechanics neutered, whereas x-mode or whatever they call it will have strict dps checks with challenging mechanics. If you are scurred, #getgud
