Are you seriously trying to say an added higher difficulty is harder then normal
Are you seriously stupid enough to think that's a relevant metric?
"THE HARDEST CONTENT AVAILABLE IN THE GAME"
They didn't add a harder difficulty, they added piss easier ones for fuckheads like you.
Nothing in Vanilla WoW was particularly hard as we would think of it today. A fight with the complexity of Kel'thuzad or 4H would be dead within a day if they were released now. Maybe two. Anyone that thinks anything from Vanilla was as hard as say, Heroic Rag or Heroic Lei Shen is certifiably bonkers.

That happened to me as well. I mean i gamed every now and again, but it wasnt alot. ill play like street fighter for an hour or so a day total, but nothing outside of that really. Here and there i did a little, but in the last month or 2, i have gotten back into gaming. I thought my fire was burning out. I guess i just needed a good break of playing hardcore all the time. Them 7 years of evequest and 2 years of Vanguard hardcore really got to me and i will be 38 this year, so im getting up there a little bit.
I'm still not sure what I think about this game, from a Medic Healer perspective. I can't figure out if it's my gear (needing more Support Power/Insight), or if dungeons just seriously hurt that hard even for tanks.
If by assume you mean read your post at exactly face value? You're a fucking retard.
Depends on if they're standing in bullshit that they're not supposed to.

Different philosophies in design. lack of knowledge of many game systems among players. And no web guides.

Vanilla WoW was good times, i dont think anything was relatively hard - and i agree in comparison to heroic fights now it is indeed light and day. However back then you had far less resources, and capabilities - so trying to judge which is harder by todays standards is stupid.
Also spot on - even the best guilds had to carry people but i think we were fortunate enough that it was more like 35 ppl carrying 5. 40 man guilds back in vanilla were for the hardcore, then again im speaking from perspective of those trying to stay in top 3 WW position so we really never "carried" people.

haha no. People have been throwing up guides to raids since a bunch of dipshits got banned for exploiting MC and spoiled all the encounters out of spite.
I'll take "Boss auto attacks for $2000, Alex." Yes, it was clocking the tank for 2-4k, no special attacks. People have around 7-8.5k hp, around 2.9-3.5k shields at level 20. Not an insignificant amount of damage.
I was wondering about if the tank was using any mitigation abilities, though; I haven't looked through what the tank roles get yet. All I know is that just simply being melee'd by the Stormcaller/first boss in Stormtalon's Lair was an insane amount of damage.

I dont recall any of the tanking abilities. I was a Huntard in Vanilla. But The tanks had 5500-6500 to be more exact. People werent full Tier 1 and were wearing Resistance armor to supplement. We were talking about it in Final Fantasy last year and people had screen shots. But yea, you are right that they were fucking hitting like a truck. It resembled how EverQuest fights went very closely in terms of Hit Point control. Im sure tanks had one or two "Oh Shit" abilities, but people are very much so - right - in that you cannot compare Heroic Raids with Vanilla raids.
The time it took to get through that content took guilds longer than it does now to complete bosses in Normal, but not near as long as it does to complete some bosses on Heroic. Not to mention, you had other outside factors that played a major role in Vanilla. Such as as fire resistant armor where the mats and recipes had to be farmed. Alchemy was king shit back then too and using a fucking fire absorption potion was almost required, during the sons phase for Rag. It wasnt memorizing mechanics, but more along the lines of putting in work to get there. Poop socking if you will. You still had to have a good amount of skill to complete that content when it was relevant, but playing dance, dance revolution was not a key component. I personally loved the hell out of Molten Core and always had a fun ass time with the other 39 lemmings I had with me. 40 Man Naxx was the only time that I ever really felt like my balls were being slammed against the wall and my guild didnt make it that far before they released BC. (which to be fair, not many guilds even had 40 man Naxx on their radar).
