Seems like some reminiscing is going on.

Blizzard is doing what they can to get some of the old player base back. Unfortunately, the game is just not what it was upon release and the few years following that. Somewhere in the middle of the WOTLK release, things just got too easy and the game wasn't fun anymore. Anyone remember how hard BRD and some of the other 5-mans were when the game first came out?

Molten Core was fun albeit requiring far too large of a group to be a sensible raid. The last really challenging raid was Sunwell and that was truly fun. After this, gear became very easy to acquire and Blizzard over compensated to cater for the casual player base. It's a fine line to walk when you're wanting to reward the hardcore player base and keep the casual ones interested. Oh well, fond memories.

TLDR: Used to be a cool game
