It was like playing Counter-Strike where some of your opponents had M4s and AKs and AWPs and your ran around with a USP and Glock and TMP, and had to play for months or years before being on an equal footing
WoW was never hard and never will be in its current rotation/static gameplay state. The AI is dumb and PVP is a stunlock fest, the game doesn't require personal skill at anything nor does it reward personal skill.
