Iawll, you say EQ is made for 1% of players then go on to say how much easier it is than WoW. Then you say that all WoW players get to see most of the WoW content. But everyone knows WoW is a stupid-easy game, which is why 11 year old kids play it.
Patience, determination, and perseverance are important traits; and players who exhibit them (EQ players) deserve credit. Heck, real life is easy too...success is more a factor of these traits rather than being "difficult."
So, if you have a kid; I'd encourage them to Play EQ rather than WoW. The former teaches important life skills; the latter breeds a welfare mentality of being handed rewards for nothing.
This difference aside, I totally agree with your post and that SOE wasted zounds of dev time on content very few (including myself) will ever see.

EQ is not a game built for mass appeal. It is like old school dungeons and dragons if you played it the way it was meant to be played. It was hard. Very little instant gratification. Hell 75 percent of the classes can not even play the game on their own. Who wants to play a warrior who has to sit and wait 30 entire minutes to get his health back, and who can barely solo kill a light blue mob with full health?
That isn't patience and determination, its masochism.
