Blissful ignorance vs detailed resources in gaming?

This is my take on classic vs modern WoW discussions. Moreso than the state of the game, I think the debate tries to push the wrong points (I see it as a problem with gaming as a whole in 2016 vs 2004).Classic being on the blissful ignorance, and everything post-WotLK being on the detailed resources side.In the world of blissful ignorance, you determine your own sense of direction. You have to work out and discover everything yourself by interacting with everything the game has to offer (which includes other players, a very important resource). Regardless of number tuning, unless you have impeccable intuition this is an inherently slower way to game than by delving into resources

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
