That change did make them slightly more attainable, so they didn't lie ... but it still kept mage epics far rarer than any other. Maybe on live the change helped slightly more (as more guilds were clearing Hate, and thus clearing the PHs for Magi), but it was still incredibly rare.

That's kind of like saying $1000 is a lot of money.

It is a lot of money (and epics like Monk, Rogue, and Shaman do involve killing some hard/rare mobs). But $1,000,000 is also a lot of money ... and you wouldn't say $1,000 = $1,000,000, right? Same deal with the Mage epic.
