Are you surprised?

There are so many things wrong with this comment.

Casual doesn't mean easy for starters. WoW has some of the most difficult content they have ever produced with mythic raiding and high end mythic plus.

Aside from a small handful of basically broken fights, nothing in wotlk or prior comes close to the difficulty of the majority of mythic raid fights now.

Also, the game as it stands right now is about as far from casual as it could be. Vanilla wow is a far more casual game outside of the levelling experience. You can get away with doing a relatively small amount of farming per week for raid consumables and be done in classic. Live has a whole bunch of bullshit you have to do. It is the very opposite of casual.

Sure, if you don't care about challenging content you can just go around and do pet battles all day, but there is challenging content in WoW, as well as time consuming content - and both of these are more challenging and time consuming than what was available in vanilla/tbc.

I'm not sure why casual gaming is a bad thing either, and we've always had casual games. SkiFree is about as casual a game as you can get and I remember playing that on my grandad's 486. We also still have plenty of difficult or competitive games.

Specific genres are lacking these days, I'll give you that - with the RTS scene being almost dead, but in terms of casual vs hardcore, easy vs hard there are tonnes of options.
