there was this bizarre group of people (most who never touched vanilla) who were convinced that Vanilla was some hardcore difficult experience despite being probably the most casual-friendly MMO on the market at the time

the raids are close to LFR difficulty

So, when you're looking at these hyper-experienced elite guilds, raids aren't difficult. They all know what they're doing. They all have the gear they need. They stack all the buffs in the game. They rehearse the fights on private servers.

Basically, the ones clearing it this fast are the ultimate try-hards.

The average player has absolutely nothing in common with these people.

the average players will still be able to clear it, because it's just not that challenging

can't say the same for average retail raiders clearing mythic

Well yeah, there's only been a decade plus for people to learn the raid

There's nothing new about WoW Classic and I have never understood the hype for it

A big part of the ease of WoW classic, besides a decade of experience and foreknowledge, is that the game is played on a later patch with better talents, itemization, and skill mutlipliers. Characters are literally stronger than they would've been in Vanilla.
Though private servers have proven Vanilla was pretty easy even with the right patch number.

Vanilla was only difficult because 95% of your raid was using the wrong abilities, gear, spec, etc. because no one knew how to play the game and we were all dumb kids.

It was hard 15 years ago because no one knew what they were doing

But these guilds have been clearing blackrock on classic servers for 15 years. Why are people surprised?

I think everyone forgets that the reason classic was hard 15 years ago was no because of the content. It was because everyone was playing a brand new game on potato computers with dial up internet.

Any cutting edge raider of today with zero knowledge of the old raids could breeze through them today. Hell, any normal raider of today could.

Definitely. If they could bring back the mechanics of talents and leveling up and classes having way too many abilities, and merge it with modern day raiding/m+, I would literally never stop playing wow.
