and a decent guild can only finish one normal raid every month

Where u get that from? This will take my guild, which, by all standards, is decent and nothing more than decent, around 1 week to finish...

Remember the beginnings of rancor? We did t5's and it took us 2 refreshes on the first try and it became less and less and when we moved to t6 (i think maybe 5-10 t5's in), it took us 3 refreshes, next time it was 2 and we moved to heroic sooner than we thought...

Well... I suppose this turns on your definition of "decent."

At least you provided some facts, though the facts undercut your argument rather than support it. My guild only just started heroic rancor, and we have been in the 3000-4000 range in guild rankings... there are more than 10,000 guilds. If your guild moved to heroic rancor no more than 20 rounds in, I'm guessing your guild ranking is quite a bit higher.

I would define a "decent" guild as one that is middle of the pack... if we assume that as many as 3000 guilds are inactive or a personal license plate for a single player, then my guild is right in the middle... it is "decent" by my definition. My guild is about 25% into phase 1. At this rate it will be a month to finish, if everyone makesbl thebl effort every day... something I find unlikely.

In fact, I was being generous when I said 1 month... or I was just rounding down... I'm any case, its waaaay too long.

I'm another post I said I can do 1.5m damage in phase 4 heroic rancor and only 750k in phase 1 normal AAT. That makes the new raid, more or less, 2x more difficult. It also has 15x more health... meaning phase 1 of the lowest difficulty setting on the new raid is 30x more difficult than the final phase of the last raid on the highest difficulty setting... that is absurdly bad game design.

I've raided in WoW for years... so I can say with certainty that if the first boss of a new tier on normal or even heroic was even 1% more difficult than the final boss of the last tier, on Mythic, there would be a revolt.
