They needed to make WoW easier. I remember being in a raid of 40 ppl in Molten Core when the game was young. If you lost just 1-2 people that was it, the raid was over. Try getting 40 people to work together.. or even finding 40 people who can spend hours upon hours in one dungeon. It got so ludacris with the time needed they actually started assigning dungeon ID's so it would be a work in progress and you could spend 3-5 days in one dungeon. It was non-sense. I can seriously remember gear taking a year or more to get. Then they would patch and BAM, in one second you're tier gear was now junk. It took you several months to a year or so to get a full high end tier set and then it was made garbage in one content update. I wasted a lot of my life with that game. I played for four years and never obtained anything better than partial T2 armor.

I'm happy in FFXIV RR that I already have relic gear. It's supposed to be fun, not make me want to throw a cup up against the wall.

Yeah, Vanilla was bad in that sense. But easy and trivial are two separate things.

40 man raids are epic and the casual players ruined it.. Waahhhh too many people too hard to work together with 40 Wahhh takes too long to complete waaahhh only some guilds could finish it.. Now we are st stuck with mostly 8 mans which are hardly epic
