Definitely the best post in this thread so far.

1. No
2. Yes and no
Yes, when it comes to who can log on the required number of toons the fastest and work together to kill X target the quickest.
No, when it comes to true difficulty. The game has been out so long and all encounters have been done many times before by many different people.
3. Some players in both guilds you mentioned could make the adjustment, and some couldn’t.
WoW is considered easier than EQ for one the ease of leveling to max level and also because of its marketing, some call it pay to win. But I would be willing to bet most guilds on p99 could kill most raid targets, what makes raiding on p99 different is because the amount of time a guild has to invest to get a shot a target.
With that said I understand where you’re coming from. Heroic encounters (now mythic I think?) on WoW is much tougher than classic EQ. What makes classic EQ stand out (and IMO better) is real players in a true simulated world vs instanced content where you can just restart the instance and keep going again and again till you win.
Keep in mind this is coming from a former WoW raider/PvPer (during WotLK expansion as well) and former p99 raider.

I suppose I can concede to the bolded point. I just feel it is a bit watered down competition compared to a game where everybody has a fair shot, and it doesn't come down to who can batphone their people the most efficiently.
I also agree with you that you do get a much different feeling out of a true simulated world vs resetting an instance. For what it's worth I want to make it clear that I only used WoW as an example because that's what I have experience with raiding at the top tier past EverQuest. I'm sure my argument is applicable to most modernized MMOs vs EQ. I am sure that some players could make the switch but I doubt the majority could.

Is that him? The gatekeeper of antique pixels himself?
Anyone in this thread can say what they want, but the mental illness I've been trying to learn more about has manifested as a person and posted in my thread.
Definitely satisfied now.
