I remember way more people in WoW doing everything they could to crunch numbers, maximize dps thru rotations, and discover which items meshed well with certain builds. I was also in a raiding guild in WoW(pre expansions) and we got up to a few bosses into Naxx. (so it's all relative).
I agree it is all relative and people have different experiences. WoW has more variables, I remember crunching numbers as well.

It's not magic but I do believe there is a social/game mechanical barrier though, or at least there was one from my experience. In WoW any class could and can solo to max level and even get decent gear from quests. In EQ many classes can't solo and had to be more proficient at their class to not be kicked out of groups.
