Typically when you see someone talk that way, it's from a bad player who's used to being carried. EQ probably does seem easy when someone else always does all the work. Inept warm-bodies are routinely carried to the best loot in the game. The difficulty is there, but some folks never know or care to find it. Take a person who levels up in typical pick-up groups in easy areas: Unrest, Karnor, etc. Then he progresses into raiding: Log in when told, group when told, get ported then told, click assist when told, collect loot. Lot of people play the game that way, and they never encounter the slightest hint of challenge.

There's difficulty, just not in the modern game sense.

Take World of Warcraft for example: Any class in WoW is infinitely harder to play at a basic level when compared to classes from classic EQ.

Some classes in EQ just turn on Auto Attack and you're good to go.

However, the world and environment around you is way harder and harsh in EQ than it is on a ton of other games.

It can take skill to run to the next town in EQ.

But we've all been playing this game for years, so yeah, it's easy to us.
