Just to break it down for you and reiterate my point even further. EQ's second expansion was Scars of Velious, release date: Dec 5th 2000. WoW's second expansion was Wrath of the Lich King, release date: Nov 13, 2008.
8 years of difference between the two's first two expansion release date and you guys are comparing raid content? Come on now. It's not comparable. Not even close.
Hell WoW didn't even release it's original game until 2004. 4 years after EQ launched it's second expansion. By the time WoW released EQ was already on Omens of War expansion. According the MMO timelines and google searches.
So of course WoW's 2nd expansion is going to be lightyears ahead of EQ's second expansion.
To put it in perspective by the time WoW released the Wrath of the Lich king, EQ was already on Seeds of Destruction expansion, probably it's 25th or better. If you played in that expansion and are able to compare the two then please do. Otherwise it's apples and oranges fellas.
And I am not here to say EQ was better than WoW. What I am saying is people who call WoW's raiding experience more challenging or better, obviously didn't play EQ through it's entirety and therefor doesn't really have a clue about it.
