I say this only to refute the "You're just mad because we're better" arguments that you're spewing. That shit would maybe fly on Red, but definitely not on Blue.

It's really easy for you to score those points when you keep moving the goal posts, ya know?
You are correct, but you're picking a terrible place for this argument. This board is going to be filled with EQ-enthusiasts that want validation that the game they play is difficult. We've beaten this to death on FoH, and pretty much everyone with some sense realizes that EQ circa 2000 is significantly easier at the high-end than the modern MMOs (who would have thought a genre would actually - you know - progress). Simply put, mashing buttons and avoiding bad stuff is more difficult than hitting 1 or 2 buttons and not avoiding anything.

You can still love EQ while realizing the genre has progressed a long ways.
