In some aspects it is easier than the mythoclast, depending on your strategy/group. For example if you join at the Atheon CP with a group of Gjallahorn-ers then it is a piece of cake. But the thorn bounty is a challenge, unless you cheese the boss and sit inside on the steps, which is what 99.99999% of people do, so i guess again it depends on your strategies. I did the thorn bounty at level 24 and it was nigh impossible until I figured out the exploit inside. Most would have done it recently on a level 28+ so it would have been easy.
