Managed to beat it today. Wasn't horribly hard but we went in with no melee DPS. The problem is ya, my group in full rakata that was clearing NM could do it, but I guarentee the 95% of people that play the game casually will NEVER complete it. Most people are stuck on HM EV and KP. Bio explicitly stated the game was designed for casual players, well guess what, this sort of difficulty will never cater to them. I have several friends in other guilds that are just getting gutted right now before the 1.2 healing nerfs and the lack of any ability to progress. Yes, they are probably only averagely skilled at the game, but so are the overwhelming vast majority of players. The only thing 1.2 added for average players really is corelia... but that takes about an hr and a half a week and you're done. Fact of the matter is the game has begun to cater only to the 5% of hardcore players and this is not going to keep enough subscriptions. I like the game personally, but if it drops to the point where BW is losing money, it doesnt matter how much I like it, b/c they'll still shut it down.
