I’ve been playing WoW Forever, and honestly, the game feels way too easy.
Leveling is extremely fast and most encounters don’t feel challenging at all. You barely have to think about your abilities, manage your resources, or worry about dying.
One of the things that made Vanilla WoW so special was the sense of danger and achievement. Every level mattered, difficult quests required preparation, and even regular mobs could be dangerous if you weren’t careful.
I feel like the current difficulty takes away a big part of that classic experience.
Does anyone else feel the same way? Would you prefer a more challenging experience, closer to original Vanilla WoW?
I’d personally love to see a higher difficulty option or some adjustments to make leveling and open-world content more challenging.

I’m already level 6. The hardest part is waiting for my mana to regen and not having a mount

I have been playing HC and Era, and Forever is the same.
The only reason it seems like you are leveling faster is that there are more quests, and you get pretty nice chunks of XP.
That being said, I logged of Era and logged into Forever and their is no difference in mob strength, player strength.
I will say that game play itself is smoother in Forever.

The real Mandela Effect here is people “remembering” Vanilla was any harder than it actually was.

I remember vanilla wow being difficult.
I also remember being an idiot, clicking buttons, not knowing what armour types meant, and playing at 8 fps.

Exactly. I wasn’t even a teenager playing vanilla. My understanding of difficulty then is not the same lol

While waiting for the launch the last couple weeks I leveled up a new character on Anniversary to about 30ish. So far (level 7) it seems roughly on a par with that.
Easier then classic/classic anniversary. Fine by me to make the starting area quicker.

Yes, it’s too easy. I was having to calculate. To think. Dying a lot (which was great) in beta. They didn’t just dial it back a lot, they dialed it back to the easy mode we all left because of. I had to peel a mob, then die and then do another and then do Garrick. Tonight I killed all three with half health left. In the mines, I’m taking on two or three kobolds at a time. Never would have happened. The fun I had in beta has evaporated.
