we've had 15 years to learn the strats for EQ, it only takes 1 or two attempts to get it down for wow, so...

and raiding in EQ isn't just stand at point A and DPS the boss. you have to refresh your click buffs when dispelled. you have to wear the appropriate gear for the appropriate boss (remember, they took this part out of wow because it was too hard). all of the DPS has to move together and attack from the same side to get a push in to interrupt boss heals (wow doesn't even have character collision!).

wow raiding is trivial with the addition of boss mod add-ons and class timers that tell you exactly what to click and when to click it. eq raiding is made trivial not by reducing the difficulty or the gear requirement, but simply by the ability to overrun the boss. but you still had to get there. wow raids started removing trash from raid instances or drastically reducing it starting as far back as blackwing lair.

then you have things like the coldain shawl quests, omg real tradeskills

Oh, talking about wow now =P

Was going to say, I definitely remember spending days or weeks banging heads into the wall dying over and over and over to shit like the drakes in BWL just to get the positioning right. Also remember having to farm the shit out of poison resist gear for huhuran in AQ .


-- edit --

All this talking about raiding in wow being easy is making me want to go back and try the stuff added since wotlk.. problem is there is no way I am going to go buy wow + every expansion. =P
