Competition comes with raiding and waiting for a mob to spawn, dealing with trains, (something that doesn't exist in WoW) while trying to juggle out a FTE can get intense.

There is no skill or competition in "who can call 40 friends fastest" or "who can sit on a mob's spawn point while it's in window the best"
Total fucking nonsense.
PS any real risk of dying evaporated as soon as "camp the cleric with the epic" was possible. Adding 15 minutes of med time to a CR isn't adding difficulty, it's just cumbersome. Cumbersome =/= hard.

I dont quite understand why people take so much offense over hearing that EQ takes tons of patience, but very little skill. Does this make it less entertaining? Certainly doesn't for me. The PVP sucks (pvp was the best part of WoW imo) and the graphics suck. Doesn't change the fact that velious era EQ is my favorite game.

This all the way. Anyone claiming anything in EverQuest outside of playing a bard or possibly quadding/pack charming takes skill is deluding themselves. Anyone suggesting that wow is "mindless button-mashing" when EQ is
entirely based around auto-attacks is retarded.
But Classic-Era EQ is still the top-end of actual content, IMO. There was never a world as fun to explore or as richly imagined as Launch-Velious EQ, imo. I didn't play enough in Luclin/PoP to comment a lot on it, but we already know this crowd will have a fucking aneurysm if I compliment either of those xpacs.
