you kidding? WoW was incredibly hard back in it's vanilla stage... it took a person on average 6-12 months of raiding weekly 2 get all there gear... and hitting lvl 60 took months of play... WoW used 2 be a very hard MMORPG... they later on cut the XP for max level in half and started making all the expansions and just dumbing the game down so more casual people could get into it without feeling like they need 2 pay a character rush service or gold service money 2 be part of it.
