The problem here is that the only way to make the content gate itself is to make it so hard that even the hardcore elite guilds of the world have trouble with it, which effectively shuts out the other 98% of WoW players from every seeing it.

The Gating is there to prevent world-class uberguilds from clearing the place within 6 hours of release because Blizzard had to make the regular mode accessible to less hardcore players.

Let's face it, within hours of ICC opening its doors we were seeing the hardcore elite clearing out the first wing.

When the Lich King is released, you can bet Ensidia and the rest of the uber guilds will get the world first, world second, world third, ect all within the first few hours.
