Yeah, and casual is something to enjoy is it not? If he wants to start let him start on retail.
It's a lot more player friendly
Vanilla is for the hardcore players who dont want the features like dungeon finder to make queues faster or other things of that nature



Dungeon finder doesn’t make ques or finding a group faster.

the only difficult thing about classic is staying awake while playing the game

Don't know when the last time you played was, but ha. Most of the people on Classic are farming gold to sell. The rest are there because they convinced themselves it's the "hardcore" version of WoW when in reality its the worst version of WoW to ever exist.

retail i find to be easier.. you dont need to worry about compositions druids have a actual res. people can suck ass and still fly through content..
however in classic even though there is less content it actually takes more effort to clear things. retail is just a button mash and heal spam fest. lfr and queue systems are designed for casuals who play one day a week yet still are lfr geared out doing endgame "hard" content.
i dont think its fair you bash something in that way just because you think retail is harder.. its actually not by any means. everyone knows vanilla wow was much harder then retail even bc retail. This is how blizzard brought in new players. by making the game easier.

There is nothing in Vanilla that is hard. It's a time sink. Nothing more. The hardest Vanilla raid is easier than Heroic on retail. They were literally designed for 25 people to do them, with 15 leechers.

Im a filthy casual, started playing late into vanilla progression then on and off through out retail. Didnt play for 3-5 years and now playing classic.

I find it nore fun because there is more of an active community feeling.
I miss the convenience of LFR but it would kill the community.

I do find some of the travel tedious but it honestly does make it feel more engaging and immersive.

Ultimately classic is a slower, grinder time suck, of poorly aged content.
Playing with an engaged guild and some RL friends makes it worth it though.
