Difficulty of normal content.

Edit: For anyone wondering about the 75 pages of replies, when this thread was around page 11 the streamer Arthars covered it live, twitted about it and then uploaded it to YT. Later I found out that Mr.Happy also made a video and a link of this thread was shared on 4chan. What you are seeing are two popular streamers mobilizing their followers (accidentally or otherwise) to dogpile me and anyone siding with me (plus 4chan trolls for good measure).
While I understand that some of my opinions in this and my other posts in this thread can be interpreted as hyperbole I stand by them. My position is unchanged.

No, you state this in order to shut down criticism of your position.

We are in week one of a new raid tier, of optional content.

Normal raids are supposed to be a slight challenge when you first encounter them, they are a difficulty step above Alliance Raids. There are always going to be newly introduced mechanics each expansion which people need to learn in order to survive, otherwise its a dance simulator not an MMO raid which carries some risk of dying regardless of difficulty.

I died 7-8 times on Black Cat, but the next time I died once maybe twice because I learnt the encounter from past experience.

It is frankly ridiculous that you or anyone expect a wipe-free run when first encountering a new raid tier. Soak it up, take some deaths and actually learn the basic elements of these fights, because based on what you're saying this is your peak challenge in the game and you wont see anything presenting a challenge again until 7.1 and the Alliance Raid (which again will have new mechanics and challenges for you to overcome).

By week 3, I guarantee that you will be completing these raids with barely a death registered and feeling rather foolish for rushing to judgement here.

Enjoy your time, learn mechanics (even via guides if necessary) and actually achieve something.
