Maybe you've just gotten too good at MMOs and are no longer capable of reasonably assessing difficulty. True story: when players first experienced the WoW Classic Beta last month, they complained that the elites were far easier than they had been in the original game because they were even easier to defeat than the current elites. After going back to the original source code to double check, Blizzard confirmed that the statistics were, in fact, identical to the original game's. The difference is that players weren't min-maxing every aspect of the game and reading rotation guides back then. Personally, I just want to relax at the end of the day. If I wanted non-stop thrills with constant dodging and precise clicking I would play a platformer, not an MMO.
