Seriously I remember back in the day leveling to 60. It's so damn hard something that will burn out allot of people. Sadly I never made it to endgame only until TBC. I remember when they added a patch where they lowered the xp needed to level. It was still hard I really hope I get to level 60 this round and don't burn out it's very tedious I mean I can't stress enough how tedious it is. I just hope I have it in me to actually find a class I like and stick to it without quitting and making another. Ahh I remember the days where you'd be in Stranglethorn Vale in a pvp server feeling that sense of danger everywhere you go hoping you don't get ganked, hoping you don't get attacked by a group. Some people skip it altogether they say its not worth it. I remember seeing epics and being amazed by how they look and what kind of buffs they give you. I just cant fathom how hard it is to get geared with only 3 epics dropping per boss in a group of 40 only then to be able to do the raid once a week. Vanilla is hard I hope I get to play it thorough and don't give up. I really hope classic succeeds though I hate what they've done to it.
I heard it was harder than Jean-Claude Van Damme's pecs. I mean, that's just what I heard.
Uh oh don't say that you will have retailers here saying "its not hard its just more tedious retail is way harder"
The secret to leveling in Vanilla, is to enjoy the ride, Grasshopper.
Enjoy the quests, enjoy the pvp, enjoy the item hunt and dungeons, enjoy this world, and community.

It does kinda amuse me that Classic is considered hard nowadays. When it was released, it was considered by the general MMO community as the carebear option.
Classic isn't hard it's time consuming.
Difficulty doesn't equal time spent, Otherwise the BFA reputations are "hard" by your metric.

^see told you op lol. Here is the retail warrior defending it.
I had played SWG ( pre-CU, CU and NGE) and DDO before WoW, I was amazed that it gave you some direction and you could level efficiently solo. Which I loved as it allowed me to do it on my schedule for as long or short as suited me.
That being said it IS very difficult and not just time. You make a mistake, you didn't pay attention, you just die, there is no escape. You can try to run away while dazed but you'll just die a little further away.

Yeah its a bit of both hard and time consuming.
For example its time consuming farming resistance gears, more so depending on class. Even hard depending on spec.
Its hard to level when you can only take on 1 or 2 mobs at once, its time consuming when you need to run back to your grave. Considering some zones only have 1 or 2 graveyards. iirc redridge mountains was pretty notorious for that and we can all remember corpse running back to blackrock mountain.
Dungeons and raids are hard because wrong moves will cause wipe after wipe unless you're really geared. To newer players just targeting only what the tank is focusing on is hard enough. Its time consuming because you need to cc packs and at least the healer needs to drink every so often.
It takes a lot of time, too much for me now days that I am 37 with a wife and kids. Much different to when I was 23 but I will still play it. Probably as rogue, lock or mage for the solo abilties. Been a huntard since release so want to be something else this time around. I am really looking forward to seeing the cleave trains once more...

Yup. Killing boars and spiders was hard.

Actually I'm pretty indifferent to retail, right now it's just filler for classic in my eyes.
Meds, coffee, redbull, and pandora/Netflix with a weeks vacation. 3.25 hours sleep for 5 days. 2 days to recoup.(yes 2 days I'm not 20 anymore lol) GG. See you at 60.

It certainly does. Difficulty can come in the form of being exhausting. It isn't difficult to run, but doing a marathon is difficult because the stamina and tenacity to succeed is so much higher. Vanilla could be exhausting both mentally and physically, aka difficult as an umbrella term.
Nah its not difficult its different.
Almost a year later and this ridiculous conversation is still happening lol.

Classic is for babies, who here WoW gang (Waiting on Warhammer)?

Because influencers have people convinced that there is some magic metric which puts the classic player base above everyone else in the world of gaming.
The zealots eat that up with minimal effort to keep the hype train rolling.
Only takes a spark and people's emotions blaze up to keep the fire rollin.
People are being manipulated and are not even aware of it.
I didn't hear you describe anything hard.
Everything was hard when you were 12.

This is the truth of it. If you play it the way it was designed to be played, ie, patiently, it's not hard. If you try to rush everything and run into a room and try to AoE everything down, yeah, you're gonna have a bad time.
To put it another way, the execution of Vanilla is not difficult, but it will punish you for not executing, as opposed to, say, Orphan of Kos in Bloodborne, which is both rather difficult to execute and will punish you for not executing correctly.
Neither Classic nor Retail are hard by any stretch of the imagination.
Both are just tedious and time consuming, Vanilla more so.
