Hate to say it but ALOT of work went into making classic the difficulty it was. They knew making it a challenge would attract people as in that time people liked challenges.
Unfortuantely as time goes on and america dumbs society down you have less and less people looking for a challenge, just looking looking for easy games. They play the easy said games, Looking for faster leveling, faster easier everything.
And when a challenge does arise they cry and get it nerfed
