We got a WSG team together before it was meta, just because we could pump out 11k honor/hour while the top AV rankers were getting 9-10k honor/hour, allowing us an extra hour of sleep.
So Ranking definitely did take skill, depending on the competition. during WSG meta we literally switched to AV 5 man queues and started the GY farm, min maxed it to perfection and were sitting on 15k honor per game. which was on par with other Horde premades, in WSG, and allowed us half an hour breaks between games to sort out IRL shit.
You don't HAVE to be good to clear raids, but neither do you in Retail. unless ur trying to kill bosses pre-nerf and top 20 world Mythic isn't exactly a challenge. same goes for classic it's an absolute joke, but min maxing damage on a speed run is not easy.
The difficulty isn't forced upon you in either game, it's a choice.
