Cata was released Dec 7, 2010
i started clearing those Heroic dungeons 2nd day of release, cleared them all with wrath gear in first couple days of cata release and let me say something for sure…my group never used Any CC in any dungeon.
this is just example for 4 of them, can link date for clearing them all

Knowledge is power.
It would be wrong to say that because people know more that they are weaker.
Many new strats came in in wotlk and many more “abuses” had to be fix because of players knowledge. The top player have mastered many more techniques that didn’t exist before or that are harder to execute. “Following a spreadsheet” if anything seems more like a cope from a player that never played hard content, while classic content is not the hardest if plenty people fail it’s because the content is hard enough for many. If it’s easy it’s because so many people have now decades of wow experience and that knowledge is so easy to get if you know where to look for.
Dang! It took a month to get from baron to godfrey?
I really wish cata dungeons are pre nerfs, it’s like the only reason I’ll play cata…gearing for pre raid bis was fun and challenging but if we get the nerfed version, I might not even play because I don’t plan to raid since the raids in Cata aren’t fun in heroic mode, they are way too try hard for what it is (cough heroic rag cough). Cata is definitely retail territory to me.
Let’s take what a traditional MMORPG player needs to succeed. It takes adaptation. It takes perseverance. It takes time. Let’s say knowledge is equal. In the case of Classic Vanilla that was very close to the case, being that private servers did nothing but use way back machine to rip everything they knew off of the original lol. The problem is the modern player lacks all of the things that make a “good” RPG player.
This isn’t a “skill issue” in Classic. There is very little “skill” involved. It’s a player problem. Modern players fold in the face adversity.
what? you missed reading the date or something?

the reason i didn’t rush clearing cata 5m heroics because i was also leveling my other main characters “i never considered playing multi8 char as main & alts…all of them are mains :)” but the point is…cata hc’s wasn’t that hard people think of.
It was a joke. Forget about the release date. Read it as month/day/year instead of day/month/year and imagine longest dungeon ever.
