The funny thing is they literally spent months figuring out which BC equipment to farm/use in those encounters so they wouldn't have to get level 80 equipment. They also spent those months practicing the encounters.

The fact they are saying it was "too easy" after basically working on them for months is pretty... what's the saying?? /facepalm

1) They played the encounters for far more than the 3 days they are claiming.
2) These are introductory raids that Blizzard themselves said should be pretty easy.

As for the people who hit 80 already... they were in beta and exploited with guildmates. Personally I don't see the fun in that but whatever, it's their time/money.
