This kind of thing is why the raid content needs to be unavailable for at least a month after a new server opens. The fact that Ragnaros is down within like two days of the first guild entering MC, before the vast majority of the server has even had a chance to hit 60, just leaves 99,9% of the playerbase disappointed and disillusioned.
Pacing the content like this ensures that you have no way to compete if you aren't part of that incredibly tiny group of extreme hardcore nolifers who are able to put in this kind of time. The raiding environment of this server is already completely bereft of any pretense of competition because nothing was put in place to ensure that there could even really be any noteworthy participation.
MC should have been closed until everyone who puts in a serious amount of time has had a fair chance at hitting the level cap. That's not the case at this point, yet the entire first tier of content will be downed before most people reach 60. That's a massive downer and seriously diminishes the appeal of a new server. With the amount of time it takes to level up on such an overcrowded server, MC should have been closed for at least a full month.
