    No, no i do not. Been playing since 2005...

    Skill in this game is relative, tbh raids a much more skilled compared to MC days. Same would also apply to PvP.

    Been playing since Vanilla. Was downing raid bosses every week. I was a bad player. Wow, didn't take skill a long time ago. It was spamming 1 button (frostbolt for mages). Todays WoW is harder then anything they have ever done. So, I would argue it takes more skill to play today then it has over the years.
    I support a cash shop in WoW!

    Sorry to break it to you but wow never took any degree of skill, except for high end pvp and it still takes a lot of skill to be a top pvper...

    No, because it never did.
    We were all bad at one point, but that doesn't mean the game required any huge amount of skill.

    No, and I've been playing since patch 1.3. If you want a game that takes skill, play chess. WoW requires a good connection, a working install of Deadly Boss Mods and the ability to move away from generally predictable ground effects. What part of that is the "skill" part?
    The plural of anecdote is not "data". It's "Bayesian inference".

    An entire thread of 'wow was never hard, just tedious'.

    Splendid.

    If you are talking about memorizing your rotation then no its not anyone can set still and spam their abilities. However,

    for both pvp and pve you got a lot of decision making and moving this always requires skill

    Try doing UBRS Daily CM with idiots. Trust me, shit takes skill not to raqe quit.

    No, WoW was always known as the "easy MMO" for the masses.
    If anything, things like PG endless, CMs and Mythics raids have made the skill-end of WoW much harder than it ever was.

    Well OP there are players bitching about MC being hard if that makes you feel better.
