Well, either get better and go hard mode, or realize that you're just too good for the current content.
I don't mind them nerfing easy mode for the casuals, but if the gap to hard mode is that much of an issue, perhaps adding an inbetween mode would be the solution? Somewhere you can go to get the gear needed for hard mode. Would that solve anything?
This ^
Is what I have been yammering about on the main forum at Allas since a week after Ulduar's release.
Easy mode has been scaling towards the bottom end of thecurve of raiders, hardmode has been scaled for the top end. Not only does this cause issues with itemization for easy mode content that provides gear designed for what is for all intents and purposes another tier in difficulty but it leaves people who aren't terrible, but who aren't top end raiders with a kind of ghostland where the easy mode is too easy and leaves them bored by the time the next level of content comes out 6 months later, or hardmodes they can't possibly do.
Blizzard needs medium modes, at least more than Yogg, Freya, Council and FL.
T7 was just poorly itemized and scaled, what we are seeing in Ulduar is a new problem with somewhat similar symptoms. Which is causing people to think it is the same problem as before.
