I just don't understand WHY across the board nerfs on heroic modes would be necessary. If you want to see the content, run raid finder. If you want better gear, run normal. And if you want to pit yourself against the most challenging content the game has to offer, run heroics.

There's just no need to nerf heroics to get more people into them, because people can see the content other ways. Sure, if there's a lot of guilds hitting walls in normal modes, then nerf normal modes. But if people can't hack the ultimate difficulty setting, there's nothing forcing them to do it. They can down normal ragnaros, or normal madness, or normal king of the sha (whoever the boss of MoP's raids may be).

And I'm saying this as someone who will NEVER be a heroic raider. I run rf now, and imagine I'll do the same in MoP. Maybe I'll be in a position to run normals with a guild, and if I do, i'll feel satisfied with being able to do that. I won't expect blizzard to lower the bar on a completely optional difficulty level.
