Hell, for the sake of argument, say WoW has technically more difficult content encounters. It's going to seem easier to a pile of veterans playing a new game.

Sort of.
There's one big core difference.

No matter WHERE you wipe in WoW - the only thing you ever risk at all is a repair bill. Ever. You wipe in the hardest instance even if it's brand new and you've never been there... you just hit a soul rezzer at the very worst. But really, it's just a matter of running back to the instance. Even in the new XPAC - this will not change.

That - to me - is where the big separation is. In the 'risk' factor of the two games. Any class in WoW can 'gate' and get their corpse back without any issues.

Right now on P99 and even moreso in Kukark - there's no soul rezzers. You must go back in and get your corpse or find someone who can summon, and that's not too cheap..

Other than classic EQ - is there *any* MMO on the market that offers a TRUE risk because of a bad decision? Not really.
