WoW is harder than EQ by far. EQ is simply a timesink with far fewer mechanics.
The only reason why EQ is considered 'hard' is because people misappropriate 'hard' with 'unforgiving'. In WoW, you aren't penalized for your mistakes, at all, beyond getting a screen that says you lose. In EQ, if you make a mistake, it costs you more time, but you still made the mistake. There are more opportunities for mistakes in WoW as opposed to EQ which has a lesser decision making process due to number of steps and variables to consider. EQ1 PVE isn't even remotely close to the level of twitchyness that WoW offers. And yes, twitchy games are still skill based. Most EQ1 players play EQ1 because they don't have a reaction time to play PvP games, hence why Red99 is less popular and most blue players are not willing to try red because 'it has pvp in it'. EQ1 is forgiving for time accumulated where as WoW is not forgiving for time accumulated. This is also where the social stigma and hatred for red players is formed by blue players; it's because they are lacking in reaction time for whatever excuse they offer, but what it comes down to is, EQ1 PvP is about on par for skill as WoW PvE. Put the best WoW PvPers like Athene, Sodapoppin, etc, in Red99, and you'll see all major guilds dissolve because they can't compete with the metagame that they'll develop. I guarantee it.

Killing an NPC with 32k hitpoints on farm for 2 years is not skillful, the metagame that developed behind getting to NPCs and killing them before someone else tags it is the real skill behind EQ1 - and because of that, tears flow like a motherfucker. Me, I just like Classic EQ because it's great if you don't consider it a competitive game and just enjoy the community and social aspects of it. I have WoW for competitive PvP/PvE if I want it.

Furthermore, WoW gives you all the gear you need to get started, not all the gear you'd ever want.
I'm not sure if you ever played WoW (it sounds like you guys haven't for the most part) but you are given a basic set of armor and then are expected to perform your role as a tank, dps, or healer. Not learn it as you're gearing up; it's given to you on a silver platter so you can stay competitive with other players that know how to play your class. Gear isn't the only thing that determines a players' skill in an MMO, player skill is highly attributed to how well you perform. I guarantee 95% of the druids on this server can't solo Phinny, or don't want to because they're scared of failure and an 18 hour corpse run. However, if you were to give them unlimited tries and no penalty for failure, a good 35% couldn't solo it. EQ1 isn't a skill based game, it's a game about risk vs reward and time invested.
