Why, so many people consider classic as a better MMORPG than retail?

No idea, man. Here, let me copypaste:

Some people for sure love to pat themselves on the back. I’ll have to repeat myself.

1. WoW, both Classic and Retail, is a disgustingly casual game. And it always was.
2. WoW is not a RPG, it’s a theme park.
3. Stop comparing stuff, that is not comparable. Like having Legion gear and getting from 110 to 120, with 1-60 in Classic. If you insist on this comparsion, do it properly. Go and level 1-120 on a fresh character on a fresh account, without mail. Meaning no heirlooms, no gold, no bags, no mounts, etc. Then compare it to lvling 1-60 in Classic. Or the other way around: Compare leveling 50 to 60 with decent gear on Classic to 110-120 with gear on Retail. Wanna Classic mod on retail? Don’t use LFD,LFR while leveling 1-120. Any other comparsion makes you guys look like complete imbeciles.
4. The vast majority of players in WoW are not really skilled, because the game itself was designed to cater to your average american Joe. Not a hardcore gamer from games like Ultima Online, Star Wars MMORPG, Everquest, etc. You don’t even have a chance of losing your equipment for good when you die. Filthy casuals.

So, there you go.
