It seems to be easier from what i remember, but it’s been a long time but there must be videos from back then that could prove it or disprove it right?
It seems roughly right to me. Levelling in 1.12 was easier than 1.1, but 15 years an countless mental revisions have happened for everyone.

Lack of newness, players are better, “Joanna’s guides”. Easier no. Lack of QoL and time sync. Yes.
I think he was saying that it feels easier than how original Vanilla felt. I would have to agree but it’s tough to say how much easier because we have a lot of memories from early Vanilla and less from the latter end of Vanilla

If you took a time ship back to 2004 and played vanilla it would feel easier than it did then because you now have X number of years experience with the game.

Seems about right to me. Doesn’t seem “easier”
There must be videos from back then though
Back in the day. (I only played till lvl 22) I didn’t pay attention to resistances, now I understand that launching a fire ball at a fire elemental might not be the best choice.
This stuff is going to get tiresome real fast. It sucks when you have to wonder if it’s accurate/authentic. Remakes always have this issue.
I’m assuming the dungeons at 60 were quite hard but i never did many of them honestly back then.
Each expansion usually gave the last expac a 32% nerf to all mobs, in the older zones. So classic being the first expansion is one big reason the mobs were stronger.
Take Hogger in Elw Forest. He could not be soloed in Vanilla or even TBC by players of the same level, as of Wotlk he could be soloed with ease.

A lot of them were somewhat challenging, yes: Scholomance was always dicey, UD Strat 45, LBRS, DM Tribute…
