to be honest with you, this is a myth and you know it.
people say classic is easy which, yes it is, after you get bis gear and your guild are bis geared.
going into molten core in prebis blue gear+FR gear from dungeons?
you’re gonna have a tough time "ez"ing your way through.
going in full t1/t2? yeah its a stompfest ofc.
people who say classic is easy are the same people who can’t get beyond lvl 20 on hardcore, let alone get to the point where their character is lvl 60 and ready to raid, let alone survive MC and reach BWL, and lets not even talk about AQ and Naxx.
they drastically underestimate the level of difficulty because they’re likely being carried by better players.
look at asmongold for the perfect example.
dude claims to be a literal pro at wow, yet he has never beaten hardcore, and last time he played classic wow, he was literally doing /follow while other people cleared dungeons to gear him up - ofc he would also take exactly what he wanted when it comes to loot and not give it a second thought.
additionally he and his whole autistic gamer guild got solo’d by a single shadow priest on a regular basis, because this shadow priest was good at the game, whereas asmongold and his crew are not.
i’m not exaggerating btw. look up “advertiseSP” and see for yourself… dude would regularly 1v5 and win against asmongold’s bozo guildies and when i say “win” i mean he would actually humiliate them in the extreme.
fancy that, the game is easy when other people do the heavy lifting and all you have to do is sit there, telling them to lift harder and faster.
