Do remember the devs say several SoD raids looked nearly impossible in beta "with no guilds coming even close to beating them" and then those same guilds turned around and walloped them in short order when they went live, but since a lot of the same devs are on the case this time around, I hope that sort of "surprise" won't happen.
There were other factors that come into play that caused this as well.. things that we've ensured don't happen this time. These raids are hard.. and we'd much rather err on the side of too hard and then re-tune easier, than to make things easy, and have to re-tune harder. The former is simply an adjustment, the other generates cries of 'favoritism' towards the guilds who finish them first, regardless of what is true.
