Elegy

Are you seriously ****ing kidding me? Vanilla was difficult because of horrible mechanics (including raid and class). C'Thun was invincible when they first released him because they had no idea how to tune shit right. Wrath was, admittingly, "ezmode" trash because they screwed up on going overboard with stats (something they admitted to). They also wanted a more open variety of players to experience new content rather than be locked onto the same thing because they aren't in the elite arrogant douchebags clique that you loved to partake in.

God morons with no life like you make me rage so hard sometimes. DURRR IT DUSNT REQUIRE 8 HOURS A NIGHT IT'S CRAPPY THEY DID HORRIBLE WITH TEH GAME!

I have no plans to bother replying to the rest of your whining in the thread as it's all blatant ignorance, especially with those rose-tinted glasses you're carrying around. Don't get me fully wrong though - I'm not some WoW fanboy, I quit a while back, but you seem to be so obsessed that the game should be dealing with idiocy and an extreme waste of time rather than, I don't know, fun? The reason WoW changed - this is even commented on by developers - is because people grew up with it. 40 man raiders moved out of their parent's basement and got lives, something you need to consider. Every last person I know that raided in Vanilla (I know some from the top guilds in the world at the time, one even PvPed with the top team) agreed that all of the changes they made have been great, though they made epics too easy to get. The progression now is great, albeit flawed because of newcomers not getting to really experience old content. Just get over it.

drakexp pretty much sums up my experiences with WoW: If you aren't in a #1 guild with the best epix and everything then you're a terrible person and should go drown yourself because the world would be better off without you.

Thankfully, people like drake are a minority in WoW. a very. VERY. Vocal minority.

MC wasn't hard...it just took forever to do it. That didn't make it difficult, the same is with AQ40.

Elegy explains it perfectly. Everything was extremely overtuned, mechanics were broken, classes we less balanced than they are now.

Welfare epics are just that...Welfare epics that can only get you so far. Which is exactly how it was in Vanilla, except now you can just get them more frequently.

Holy shit are you retarded? BC heroics/raids were ball crushingly difficult.

They are changing a lot in Cata that they screwed up in WotLK, like no more 5 man loot pinata epics, no more AOEfest instances, and heroics that are reasonably difficult. Archeology is also a great way to get people to explore the world a little bit instead of rushing to max and sitting around in the same zone for months.
