Tbh its also great streamer-bait as its just designed to cause drama. Literally how Quin69 got started, just acting like a spaz anytime he died in D3 HC.
Remember when people were begging for classic WoW, and saying that classic WoW was really hard and that if they brought it back it would be the hardest experience in the game?
And they kept trying to sell us that line for years.
Then classic came out, and… well, it was ridiculously easy, as everyone saw.
So this is the latest round of “no, classic WoW was hard, REALLY IT WAS… here, we’ll make up all these rules about how if you fail the easiest thing in the game’s history, you’re punished”.
No it wasn’t. A lot of people were just really bad back then, I guess.
Everyone I knew at the time (and we all came from having played multiple other MMORPG’s first) thought leveling in WoW was ridiculously easy. Because it was (and is).
