Why? you might ask and if you do then it's pretty much obvious you never played vanilla wow and are pretty much an product of the latest expansions and so used to everything handed to you through LFR that if you were forced by blizzard to actually put in some efforts to get anywhere in the game again you'd be crying your pants off about it.
Vanilla wow was much better for a couple of reasons:
Leveling was harder. Not because it was grindier for as many of you will probably want to point out: grindier /= harder. Bjut because of you pulled multiple mobs and you didn't know what you were doing you would die. Instead of how it is now and you can just pull 15 mobs at a time and mindlessly slaughter them with no effort what so ever.
You didn't just get handed epics. You had to put in an effort and while I agree that the bosses nowadays are more challenging. You defanitley couldn't just afk your way into epics as you can nowadays in PVP and PVE *cough* LFR *cough*. It cheap[ens the game and the achievement of actually downing the bosses on their hardest modes or actually knowing how to play your class in PVP.
there was more adventure. Sure some love getting pointed to where stufff is but it seriously weakens the immersion in the game. The sence of discovery and and finding places on your own made for such an great feeling. nowadays you just go were that huge blue mark on your world map points you collect stuff and go where ever the question mark on your world map points you. It's boring and it's mundane.
Well I've made my points looking forward to the bashing I'm going to get for not liking progression of an game etc.
