I understood it fine - and I agree on all those points.

Here's the thing. NO EASY MMO can build what EQ builds. Not necessarily for the 'in game' toon - it's what it builds for the RL person playing it...

Patience
Tenacity
Persistence
Diplomacy

Don't need to be patient in WoW - right? Everything's instanced - not long ago when you couldn't get in instances due to poulation, the community went ballistic.

Tenacity - you will get something every dungeon run in WoW now, no need to be tenacious for a single item that you want big time. There's always something just about as good. Or something you can get in the AH - maybe this changes *a bit* at 80 - but get in the right guild and just steam roll the same instance over and over. Crowd Control? Who needs it - WoW has 'gear score'.

Diplomacy - no need to worry in most instanced MMO's - you have your own zone. You can pretty much walk all over or piss off whoever you want, don't really matter a lot - unless maybe it's your own guild.

EQ offers the RL player more challenge... just by nature. Game mechanics aside. Sure some raids in WoW might be harder - but it's not like you get one shot with another guild behind you - you can do the raid non-stop 24x7 if you want.
