Consistent group wipes in RFC, having to mark mobs for fears and use careful pulling tactics for each group, in such a low level dungeon.
I love it. Vanilla really punishes you for mistakes.

If you're expecting a challenge, prepare to be disappointed at endgame.

AQ + Naxx (KT) are the real Challenge

MC40 isn't a challenge?
So that means I can do without a huge buttload arsenal of consumables and flasks, food, potions, scrolls, runes, etc, for anything other than AQ/Naxx/MC40?

Either way I'm going to start with 10 mins and get comfortable with it, and then work my way up to 20's. I'm not gonna touch 40's until I know I'm damn good and ready for it

Yeah...Vanilla WoW isn't hard, don't expect it to be, it never was and never will be, boss mechanics are trivial, it's all about getting 40 people not to mess up terribly (overaggro, die, not enchanted, not prepared with some consumables ( you dont need THAT many, most scrolls and basic elixirs don't stack anyway ) just get pre Raid BiS from 60 Dungeons and a bit from ZG and start doing 40 man, 10 man isn't really a thing, UBRS is not even close to be a "Raid" it's just a 10 man dungeon.
MC has like 0 gear requirements, tho some nice pre Raid gear and some effort is always a good idea.
Edit : Yes, C'Thun and some AQ Bosses and esp. Naxx (not all bosses tho) are way harder then MC/BWL/ZG but still it's mostly 1 or 2 mechanics per Boss to watch out for, and since class rotations are easy it's more time consuming then skill based

I was level 60 for less than 6 hours before my first Molten Core on this server. Hell I've done Molten Core with level 58's and 59's. Raids aren't hard, man.

Really? I was expecting them to provde either an equal to or greater challenge than hardmodes like ICC10.

There is really no comparison between heroic/mythic raids and MC/BWL. Most guilds that were any decent cleared BWL in the first few hours. There was and is no "progression." The game is old and with patch 1.12 talents anything before Naxx is rendered fairly irrelevant.
