Going to the same route as WoW. The game is TOO easy

[Atlas-04]

I, myself, will probably buckle and get the expansion, but I will 100% be playing Classic in Aug. and Pantheon whenever that comes out.

I'm sorry but the idea that WoW Classic is hard is laughable. Tedious and time consuming does not mean hard. The raids and dungeons were devoid of any real mechanics compared to today and every class had about a 2 to 3 button "rotation". The only difficult thing is how time consuming that game is for no real reward. You can't login for an hour or two and make big progress. Travel time is insane and mounts are too expensive for your average player at level 40. You will spend a majority of your time auto running between places, eating food between single monsters, and afk on flight paths.

That game is pure nostalgia. My dumb kid self played it and got to raiding just fine. I respect it for what it was back then but I would never want to go back.

That will be the real fun: watching all the people lose their minds when they realize it really wasn't that difficult. Just because a boss hits harder doesn't mean the content is more difficult.

Theres a LOT of people who thought classic was hard because it was their first MMO. You could tell, really quickly, who in your guild had played EQ at any decently high level and who hadnt. "OH GOD I GOT THIS DEBUFF WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?!". "OH GOD THERES 3 MOBS WE CANT CROWD CONTROL OMG WHAT DO WHAAAAAT DOOOOOO".

Meanwhile, everyone who had raided VT and beyond was like "hey, this isnt 7 trash mobs that can 2 shot tanks and require you know exactly where you're standing in relation to EVERYTHING because they can knockback AND blind you for 60+ seconds (at a time where blind turned your screen black and hid every. single. ui feature). This is a nice change of pace and free loot. "

And then you waited while mages summoned food and water because god forbid people buy stacks of them for raids... (or that one time where mage water was like 2x better than any water you COULD buy, because they really just hated people who wanted to efficiently do things, IM LOOKING AT YOU, SPIRIT CHANGES)
