the Gates of Discord controversy

[guineapig]

I was reading this wiki article during lunch:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gates_of_Discord

I just found it a bit funny that much of crying involved the guilds not being able to complete raids (because they were tuned for the level 70 cap prematurely).

Now granted, maybe the very first Gates raids should have been doable by Planes geared level 65's. But hell, didn't both Velious and Luclin come out with content that was very near impossible for most people until the following expansion came out? In fact even classic had content that was tuned for a level cap that didn't exist yet (Plane of Sky anyone???). I don't see a problem with having the end game of an expansion near impossible till the next expansion.

So yeah, just had to share my opinion on this.
I can see people bitching about all the technical glitchy shit but to complain to the company that the exclusively raid content was too hard made me laugh. (I was not in a top raid guild when Gates was released in case anyone is wondering.)

Anyone else want to share their thoughts?
