>Cata dungeons were hard
Will this meme ever die?
They were actually somewhat challenging on heroic mode when everyone was in trash leveling gear. Requiring players to do passable dps and follow boss mechanics is something that a lot of players had never experienced.
And then the dungeons were nerfed and free gear was handed out like candy so people could go back to hitting their AOE button and standing in fire.

they were hard for your average mr LFD farmer mc bumblefuck that didn''t know the bare basics of crowd control, that said, heroic dungeons were still fun to run with guildmates
They were not hard, just more complex to what people were used to.

Isn't that the same as saying it's hard? Like, even if you get used to it later the difficulty level is still the same. You just got better, it's not like the thing retroactively got easier.

If you did heroic shattered halls in blues then nothing that Cata threw at you was intimidating.

As long as your group weren't all keyboard turners that didn't ever get out of the fire they weren't terribly difficult.
But since the average player started playing in WotLK heroics, where all you had to do was group everything up and aoe it down, it was far too much for them to handle and they all got nerfed into the ground.
They were harder than wotlk dungeons. They required cc and stepping out of fire. Still easy, but more enjoyable and rewarding because ther required something more than tank and spank.

>tfw I was a keyboard turner for the first year that I played
That was a lot of shame to face.

As long as Wrathbabbies still exist, you'll hear stupid shit like this. Can't blame them, they just don't know any better.

You know nothing about shame.

After a while you start to get good at being bad.

I click and do fine in pvp and mythic progression. It's more about awareness.
>players complaining that HARDMODE is too hard
>Normal mode exists and is essentially the same content.
And then they nerfed them to hell.
Guess the players just wanted free loot.
I remember doing not only all the heroics, but all those stupid "do the bosses with your eyes closed and both hands tied behind your back"-like achievements. And they weren't hard at all.
Only wrathbabbies considered cata heroics hard, and their voices were heard because almost every old player who every did Shattered Halls or Shadowlabs back in the day has long since quit the game.
Also, WotLK heroics were piss easy, not because you did them in ICC gear but right from the start when you still wore lv70 gear. Hell, Loken was the only boss who was capable of killing players. And those swirling dwarves bevor him.
P.S.: If you ever hid in the corner in Halls of Reflection, you and your party were SHIT.
