If you do content at level and at gear level, you will see that it is a lot, A LOT harder than you think. EC NiM at level was one of the hardest Ops I have done. I agree that there should be more incentive to do the old ops at level, like maybe a crap ton of EXP. No one is going to stop EXP grinding to get some gear that they cant use until 60. For you that think its too easy go back, level a toon to 50 (best if your whole ops group does it), and run the old 50 ops (EV, KP, and EC). Then run the 55s TFB, SnV, DF and DP. Then when you hit 60 maybe you will see that the new ops arent ungodly hard just challenging to people that dont bring their A game.
