Many people misunderstand what exactly comprises the challenge of Classic compared with Retail. Sure, the latter has placed much more emphasis over the years on tactical difficulty, yet Classic has reigned supreme when it comes to logistical considerations.
A summary of logistics, "the detailed coordination of a complex operation involving many people, facilities, or supplies." Classic manages to incorporate all three aspects with its 40 man raids involving heavy preparation. It makes for a satisfying conclusion when all these elements are put to work in executing the run.
So far we have already seen that there are many who appreciate this element even if they do not know the words to describe it. Personally, it helps with my immersion as the raids and the world outside feel far more intertwined.
