I'm really interested to know where this idea that vanilla (or even TBC) bosses were too easy or not a challenge. As someone who played both, it's incomparable but i also want to know how other people feel about it And yeah, i'm really just waiting for classic servers (and have been for a long time), so i'm pretty excited about it haha Raided everything except the second half of Naxx. Bosses were way more simple back then. 2-3 mechanics max over the entire fight often. But classes were also much simpler and players much less experienced. Raid tools that help with mechanics like Bigwigs and DBM did not exist. As player skill (and tools) evolved so did the bosses to become more and more complex. That doesn't mean they weren't hard tho, guilds still wiped for weeks on bosses like Ragnaros, Chromagus, Nefarion, Twin Emperors ect. | ||

Also pretty much what Gorsameth said. On top of that people know the encounters now. I am certain people will now kill raid bosses in greens and only run into trouble once they need to have fire resistance and similar gear checks. | ||

Also, vanilla seems a lot easier now for people because we've basically got the game figured out. World buffs are widely used to do speed up clears of MC and BWL. Speedrunning has actually taken over the measurement of guild achievement on private servers as opposed to world firsts. So, that being said, don't focus on the difficulty of the bosses alone because that is a terrible measurement to go by. Instead think of the difficulty of the game on the whole. The idea that classes were "simpler" back in vanilla is debatable because there are so many trade-offs, such as easier rotation versus complex gear choices. | ||

Gave us 3 MTs and an additional 4-6 off tanks if needed. Having extra people in each class was helpful too since you had more people to collaborate with and if you needed time off for stuff it wasn't a problem since the raid wouldn't be short people. | ||

On a single server it's really hard to get 40 organised people to farm all the necessary stuff and then get to the raid and doing it etc. even in TBC i remember spending like, 3 weeks on kaelthas and i can't really see that happening in modern wow | ||

Private servers have no problem finding groups to do raid content once people have the time to level and get attuned. | ||

Moreover the world was far less forgiving than it is now. Trying to get 40 people raid ready is hard and then getting those 40 people actually TO the raid is even harder. There are other 40 man raids lurking around that could turn a would be night of progression on Ragnaros into an all out war for Blackrock Mountain.

Bosses were easier. Doesn't mean raiding was easy. Don't conflate the two. | ||

After 1st week of Mythic we will know what is strong. Can't nerf yet surely The first major adjustments will be posted in 1-2 days, some of them are obvious enough to make already Some specs don't want to equip tier 21 for multiple fights in the raid even when it's 30ilvls above the previous tier, that's an example of something that is likely to be adjusted even in TBC i remember spending like, 3 weeks on kaelthas and i can't really see that happening in modern wow We just spent 6 on avatar with 25-30 people seeing the fight | ||

Btw I spent way longer on Kaelthas. Tried it for almost 2 months I think with one guild that then dissolved because we could not do it. Then went to anther guild that just started Kael progress and we needed like 4 weeks and killed it right before the patch came that made it trivial (2.3 I think). So yeah that was a shit ton of tries for me. | ||

It's double so more than back in vanilla/tbc because wipe-to-pull time is like 1/10 of what it was between holy priest capes, failure pylons, mass-ress, just shorter runways in general, feasts, jeeves, guildbank on demand, instant cooldown resets, etc etc. Back in vanilla you had to run from the graveyard OUTSIDE the raid back to the raidentrance and then back to the encounter. AQ takes the cake with like 30 minutes runways between wipe and next pull. | ||
