I think what Gardes is pointing out is that at some point, people will be calling out for nerfs to the Hard Mode of Alexander for the sole purpose of better loot and instant gratification. The difficulty would be higher than that of (at least) FCoB. So obviously, not a lot of players will be able to clear it. Soon you would see the, "I want the best loot! Why do Hardcores get everything?!" crowd demanding for nerfs. Evident in previous topics, some players do not like nerfs to the raids (with the exception of the Echo). Anyway, that's my take on what they said. xD
