Old content was "harder" because of several reasons:

1) It was released in an unfinished condition, wherein victory could not always be reasonably achieved.
2) Specific class requirements. On occasion, certain fights would be nearly trivialized by the inclusion of a specific class. Those that did not have that class available to them in their raids were at a sore disadvantage.

Obviously, we're working to make certain that both of these issues are far less prevalent in the current and ongoing game.
