Classic is so much easier than back in the day…like when i run a dungeon we just plow through everything and never die also only takes like hour and half to full clear mara when i remember spending hours in that place … and MC and Onyxia being cleared basically with fresh 60s and lower… I dunno i just remember meeding to farm FR gear and patterns that folks can make the FR gear and all that to even attempt rag … maybe just times have changed ?

Go throttle your internet to 20%, play on a PC from the year 1999, and then come back and see how your run goes.

As some said, content nerfs, 1.12 was after a large number of class overhauls. Not to mention itemization changing drastically, and thousands of items getting better by then. (Some items were enhanced as many as 4 or 5 times).
It’s basically Vanilla light.

This. It’s still fun, but it’s definitely a notch down.

If Vanilla WoW was like Coca-cola in the glass bottle (everyone knows it’s best in glass bottles), then Classic is like Diet Coke in a can… You get a little bit of the sweet goodness, but then you realize that you get an aftertaste of fake sweeteners and aluminum…

No, it’s the same drink… you’ve just had it and other drinks since.
No… I can tell the difference.
Just like I could tell the difference from when I started and just before TBC.

That’s 'bout it. It’s how I remember in 1.12 and beginning of BC.
We all can, they’re just in denial because it makes them scrubs if they admit it’s easier now.

I guess that makes P servers Mexican Coke? Lol
Well, there are 2 parts to “what it feels like to you”. One part is the game, and one part is you. If the game is the same, maybe you changed. Do you think you changed, in 10 years. It would be scary if you didn’t.
But your post points out things that aren’t just you – that dungeon groups can do things easier now. Maybe a lot of the players are better.
I’ve only done 3 dungeon runs, but they all took much longer than the same dungeons do in retail WoW. Dreadmines took 1.5 hours. WC was worse. So if dungeons are easier, it must be higher level dungeons.
