Only the last bit IMO (Destiny)

But what you're discussing actually seems to be more of "is the raid too long" than is it too hard. And I think there's a simple solution to that problem: Gating.

If Bungie set it up that only the first encounter was available week 1, and then only the first and 2nd encounters week 2, etc... that would artificially limit how much time people could put into the raid in the early weeks trying to figure out the fights, while spreading the joy of discovery over several weeks (where players would also have a lot better sense of the earlier fights, making getting to the new stuff progressively less time consuming).

Destiny is a game where "falling behind" and fear of missing out are real problems for the player base.

Honestly: Don't worry about it. The raid isn't going anywhere. Take your time, don't take too much time, and you can always sweep through the early stuff next week and keep working on new stuff afterwards.
