As far as 'easiness' is concerned in think SE is accommodating to the current player base and how they are going about is pretty good.
Most pple that play nowadays are those that prefer to abandon raid/trails after 3 or so wipes.
(something unthinkable during XI days)
So unless they have the luxury of a static, it would be hard to deal with a more 'challenging' deep dungeon from the get go.
(Im sure SE knows that not everyone can find a static as not everyone lives in the 'main' time zones)
