They have always said that they want more people to experience more progression in the game, and they have done exactly that. What a lot of people do not realize is that blizz has made the instances more challenging as far as skill and strategy (which really cuts down a stupidity level among players). these two guilds have made numerous world firsts and is no big surprise that they completed these raids already. They where the first to down sunwell like the first week it was out. I was in a decent semi-hardcore raiding guild and never saw past the first boss. Just because one guild can do it doesn't mean every one will. I believe, as far as raiding, that Blizzard has done a good job by “Dumbing Down” instances.

In that respect it's ok cause more people get to see things. What I didn't like too much was removal of attunements and key requirements for BC raids. This meant that raids were skipping hard stuff cause they could go farm things and never went back to it. it's the reason I left my horde raid cause we couldn't drop keal, vashj, or archimonde yet the raid leader kept saying we were doing a great job taking out easy things. I do like that we got to see the instances and fights but I didn't like skipping something just because it was hard. I know it's a game and it should be fun but I like challenges in my games so that when I finally accomplish something, it feels really good. I remember back in old WoW when my raid finally cleared Vaelstraza in Black Wing Lair. that felt great and awesome. then we clear Nefarian just before BC release and felt like we accomplished something few people can do. I don't mind making things easy but sometimes it feels like blizz makes it too easy and then ruins the epic feel those fights had. honestly, the dumbing down of BC instances is due to drastic changes in WotLK.
