They finished the game.. that isn't fully released yet? The experience of dedicated guilds does not reflect the experience of average players. And anyone who got to max level in such short time is extremely dedicated compared to the average player.
But do tell me: How long does it take to clear LFR? Especially considering you can pay to instantly get a max level character.
Then you should calm down and read what I'm actually saying. My argument is not that Classic is hardcore or that Classic is hard. My argument is that both games are "easy" for an average MMORPG player, but Classic is harder.
Why? That's comparing how hard it can be, not how hard it is. If Dark Souls had an "easy mode" where you are literally unkillable, it would never have become famous as one of the hardest modern games, even if its current difficulty was still available as a "normal" or "hard" mode.
The majority of people don't seek a "real challenge", they play the game on the base or easiest setting, so that's how hard the game will be for the average player.
I didn't. I argued that they are harder. And don't forget we are talking about all dungeons in the game, not just endgame.
