Iawll, you say EQ is made for 1% of players then go on to say how much easier it is than WoW. Then you say that all WoW players get to see most of the WoW content. But everyone knows WoW is a stupid-easy game, which is why 11 year old kids play it.

Patience, determination, and perseverance are important traits; and players who exhibit them (EQ players) deserve credit. Heck, real life is easy too...success is more a factor of these traits rather than being "difficult."

So, if you have a kid; I'd encourage them to Play EQ rather than WoW. The former teaches important life skills; the latter breeds a welfare mentality of being handed rewards for nothing.

This difference aside, I totally agree with your post and that SOE wasted zounds of dev time on content very few (including myself) will ever see.

EQ is for the top 1% dedicated raid players. To be the top 1% dedicated raid guild in classic EQ you had to have numbers and poopsock spawns. WoW just cut out all of the grind in the game and made everything straight to the point. Also do you know 11 year old players that run in heroic raids? Wow is still a changeling game it's just not unforgiving all the time like EQ was.
