EQ is made for the top 1% elite and most of the people in the game never even saw most of the content. Wow on the other hand made content that almost everyone can get into and enjoy (also having content only the 1% will see). EQ wasted tons of developer time and money on content no one will see. They also had tons of gimmicks to slow down progression of players for the lack of mid game content. Also I still don't understand how people think time sinks and pointless grinds are a challenge? EQ was never a hard game you just had to put a lot of time into it. Wow's raid mechanics had a lot bigger learning curve then just tank and spank CH chain and OP slows. Just look at wow warrior tank and EQ warrior tanking and please tell me witch one is crazy dumbed down. Soon as we got to velious most people had the basic idea on how mmos work and gear was getting crazy op with stats. Engage then go afk as the CH chain is running no way you could lose unless someone trying to train onto you. I guess in some peoples minds corpse runs, elite status, cock block raid mobs and no instances = super hardcore game.
EQ was never a hard game get over it.
