My definition of what is difficult or not is how much brain power it takes. In retail your character was never in any real danger from those 3 mobs, you could literally roll your face across the keyboard and you’d probably come out on top. In Classic if you’re in that situation with a single MOB and with you OOM…what do you do when your pet dies? What if the MOB has a heal and you don’t interrupt it? As a hunter you don’t really have any means of countering a disease, curse, poison, or magic debuff. So depending on what you are fighting your entire playstyle may have to change from mob to mob.
You play a hunter…the most faceroll class in the history of gaming.
And now your playing that faceroll class in the most faceroll expansion in the history of gaming.

I’m seeing more people saying how salty classic players are than salty classic players
All this did was show us we don’t need 40 people in raids and this will be 100% puggable and we’ve got like the majority of the classic player base with jobs now
I’m more pumped for end game now because I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to do it

Context for those who have kept up with or have had zero interest in classic.
1: Most classic players expected MC to take a little longer solely because of rep requirements, the vast majority already knew MC was mechanically LFR tier.
2: Most classic players don’t care since they didn’t even return for raiding. The game shifting focus to raiding was one of the reasons they didn’t like newer expansions.
3: Pot-stirrers came to the forums and got people riled up, though I will place money that this place has gotten "Retail sucks/is easy/etc. because " people building up to launch.
Figured I would put that out before anyone treads without caution.
That would be DH.
Hunters from their first conception in wow had a dead zone, mana issues, trap placements and pet management. It was probably the hardest class to play to full effect, constant pruning has made it extremely easy as with every other class.

It takes more brainpower to not pull more than one mob?
You are right here.
Here is where we have a difference of opinion. You are right. In Classic If I have three mobs on me or my pet dies, I’m likely dead. I don’t see that as being harder. There is no punishment for death. I don’t have limited lives, i don’t lose xp and go down a level. Death is meaningless. Yeah I die. And I run from the graveyard and the only real difference is I’ve taken more time.
I can still get to the same place no matter how much I die. I can still get to the next level I can still get all the way to 60 with no barriers. The game requires no real skill. Only time investment.
I define difficult as something that challanges me and requires me to have some skill, and possibly even increase my level of skill to accomplish my goals. Not something where my only test is how much time i have to waste.

I was wrong.
I said it would take 3-6 months, when lots of people were level 60, for the Classic forums to implode

You missed the point of the people saying that… The vast majority were not saying that the endgame’s were comparable or that the game is mechanically harder…
They were saying the overall package is harder.
Leveling is much harder full stop.
Dungeons are harder than LFD and normal (prolly heroic to).
The logistics of preparing for raids is harder.
The raids are harder than LFR (possibly normal as well).
The skill floor of the game is definitely higher. That higher skill floor makes people work together and appreciate their accomplishments more.
Yeah I’ve actually logged for the night, I don’t play video games all night like some people.
I thought they spent more time waiting to log in with enormous queues?
But regardless, we were bombarded for weeks with it. I don’t feel any hatred toward classic as a game, it’s the trolls that come here to rant about it that get under my skin. And I’m pleased those people are enjoying it, because it means they won’t be playing the same game as me. I deal with nasty people all day long, don’t really have time for it on my leisure time.
I get people were/are excited about it, and that’s cool. Don’t have to be jerks about it though.
You too I take it LOL

The Classic crows is screaming at the sky and I love it! The Classic hype is already dying! The server queues are getting shorter and shorter while the BfA zones are packed to the brim! They’re already crawling back lolol.
I hope more guilds do what mind is doing and kicking everyone who went to play Classic.
