Classic Feel vs Classic Mechanics

I completely disagree with this. Let me rephrase my previous comments. Wow is not skill driven it is gear driven nothing more. The best possible rotation is known to everyone it is posted everywhere, They only difference between me and another of the same class is say my Ilvl in wow is 560 and another player is 575 unless he is just completely awful at the game(which he wouldn't be at that level of play) there is absolutely no way i will out dps/heal/tank them. There is no skill involved at all. He will be better then me and i can't do anything about it.

The raids in WOW are a joke. The grouping in wow is a joke it is all a zerg fest. All it is is don't stand in shit. There is no CC they removed pretty much all of it. The only need for CC in the entire last wow expansion was Going from Paragon to Garrosh. just one instance in an entire expansion that required people to work as a team to keep from dieing. There is no heal rotations trying to time it out it is just spam heal and keep people topped off. You don't have to worry about going OOM because the Regen is just stupid. There is no pulling and setting up potions it is just run and and kill everything.

EQ is skill and knowledge driven. Lets just look at monks, bards, and Enc in EQ. The difference between a good one and a bad one is huge regardless of gear. A naked skilled bard monk or enc can outplay anyone no matter the difference in gear. Playing a bard and playing it well is harder then anything wow has to offer. A good monk puller is the difference between a constant steady stream of xp or instant death for everyone. Same with a good enc you can get a ton of mobs and still be fine. But one person doesn't assist right and you can again kill the whole group unless that enc can react and adjust to the broken mezz. Wow doesn't have any of that. All you have to do is run 50 feet away and everything will stop chasing you.

I will say it again wow is hands down the easiest MMO i have ever played.

This is 100% bull shit. You just called WoW a Zerg fest? You have obviously never played EQ. Like someone else has pointed out, and myself has also, there is certain aspects in EQ that could be assumed harder, but it is mostly revolved around leveling, that is it (your examples are even revolved around lvling, and playing a bard you still aren't pushing a many buttons as jobs in wow). If you try to just "Zerg" content in WoW (which you can't since content is limited at 25 people, which in itself proves you don't know what you are saying), you fail. The overall skill level though of WoW is much higher, all aspects taken in, to actually do the content that is rewarding.
