Again, WoW was always catered to casuals. Time you got over it.
Funny how so few (if any?) of the people clamoring for hardcore, are actually hardcore gamers by standards of today and thus rubbing shoulders with the 1% of the 1% in any game.... Farting around on a server perpetually stuck in 11 years ago, doesn't make you a hardcore player. Plenty of people casually play on Classic servers when not doing stuff on retail or in other games just fine.
Hell, by standards of "hardcore" today, I'm a casual.
