My guilld got through most of the content pre-patch but we are still having lots of fun tearing it up. I thought I would be upset about them opening things up but to be honest doing hour and a half clears of BT with mains and alts are tons of fun when we remember how hard some of that stuff was. You can essentially skip entire phases of a fight (or lessen the number of phases) by dpsing through them (Fel Rage, Demon phase etc). It makes you feel like a superhero without the stress of worrying about every moment of every pull. Being able to down the bosses in Sunwell without the astronomical repair bills is really nice too.
I always laugh when we have a pug or two and they don't understand how guilds had such hard times clearing such easy content. I always feel like I should give them a little pat on the head as I slowly explain how severely nerfed the content is now. I'm not sure the original difficulty of the encounters will ever quite sink in when you have never seen how absolutely unforgiving some of them were.
Another plus to note is that we generally pug a few players and it has allowed us to find some nice new additions to our guild. We would never have been able to do that before the nerfs unless the pug was also clearing the same level of content since we never had time to clear the old content to gear them up.
