Again, you make my point perfectly. WoW was a trivially easy game with some high-end content thrown in at the end-game that had pumped up stats. Does not make it a hard or challenging game by a long shot.

I think Vaelestrasz and most of BWL shuts down your argument completely. The penalty for losing an encounter does not make it hard. The complexity and difficulty of succeeding at the encounter does - using that measurement, it does seem that WoW had some very difficult encounters, moreso than EQ in some cases.

All-around, I think anyone would accept that EQ was a harder game - but WoW has moments and encounters that are definitively harder.
