Eq is hard in that classes have a lot of mechanics to nail down.

WoW raids at least in original and burning crusade were very challenging and fun. Can't really speak past that but the trend of lich king was to make the game more accessible so they added in all the 5 man raids etc.

If you are going to sit here and tell me that doing AQ, 40 man Naxx, the eye or sunwell was easy you are lying to yourself plain and simple. The mechanics of a lot of those fights were unique, fun to learn and really gave you a sense of accomplishment. I don't think I will forget the satisfaction of getting server first kills on content that you knew 2-3 other guilds were simultaneously chugging away on in their instances. I remember how we would kill boss x and then race to take a screen shot that captured the loot and the boss head but still hid the location of the positioning of the boss for the fight. Or on the other end, seeing some other guilds boss kill and trying to figure out where they positioned the boss based on the tiny bit of floor details in the picture =P

That said, the game got pretty dull outside of those raids so it was really an all or nothing experience. The biggest perk to EQ is that you can always focus on farming items for money and twinking alts if you don't want to raid. WoW was basically, you raid or you have shit gear.
