We haven't had our mid-ranged content patch yet. If it's anything like the trend we had in ARR, 3.1 will be our first "mid-ranged" patch with the inclusion of the 24-man Void Ark. If it's balanced anything like how the CT Trio was, it'll be harder than dungeons, but easier than the highest raids.

In fact, if we're going to continue to get a Normal and Savage mode of each new 8-man raid, I would expect the following 24-man to be the same or maybe slightly more difficult than the 8-man Normal mode that preceded it. So I expect Void Ark will be just a step above Alexander Normal in terms of difficulty and drop i190-195 equipment.

Of course it'll still wind up being "too easy" since most players are already going to be way ahead of the gear curve, but I digress.
