You think so? I feel like classic iterations suggest the opposite. I think there’s definitely WAY more information, though, that makes learning how to play a class WAY easier than it’s ever been.
10 years ago was WOD/MOP and I really consider MOP to be the peak of the class difficulty bell curve. After MOP, they started pruning abilities to make 5 to 7 core buttons for most rotations.
Combine that with all of the information, and I would say things got easier. Nowadays, I can level a toon, hit the dummies for an hour, and do decent DPS. I don’t think it was the same years ago.
I’m gonna be honest, I’m 30 now so IDK what 10 years ago was XD I didn’t play wod or mop. though, so that’s possible! I remember everyone raging abouit them at the time, but from legion onwards they were looked back on so fondly, so IDK.
