I hear from a friend that played since launch that tradeskills were hella harder (now you can max out in like a day or less, thanks auction house), exp loss used to be insane and you earned back at a slow rate

Well it appears my friend gave me bad information regarding vanilla WoW death and tradeskills, I'll take your word for it so apologize for the misinformation. Perhaps she wanted it to sound more hardcore than it is today? Who knows.

I found this rather amusing. One of WoW's "selling points" from before it even launched was that death didn't cause XP loss, so there is no way your friend could possibly remember anything about losing XP on WoW (unless maybe they played in very early beta or something). Which means that your friend is probably actually remembering Everquest or another MMOG of that era, and it's seeping in to their memories of WoW.
And I love the idea of EQ corrupting WoW memories without the person even realizing it

P.S. Just to double check my memory I googled WoW death XP loss and this was one of the first results:

I've been leveling 2 chars 90-100 and one mage 30-100 through Invasions and I literally die inside when I've been soloing an elite or boss and I die at 2% and I don't get the xp.

That's right, they're complaining not about losing XP from death, but about not getting XP from a mob
they failed to kill before they died. "WoW problems."
