If you think EQ takes more skill than WoW you're braindead. While EQ is a far superior game in terms of enjoyability, all you have to do is not be a fucking moron and you can win. I have no idea of the current state of WoW, but back in the day (pre-WotLK), you had to earn your shit through complex raid encounters.

I think the diff with EQ is the vast impact of skill. When tanking on my SK I have people actively go "holy shit you can hold aggro" or "thank god you're here, the last warrior/paladin/sk/ranger (lol)" sucked, etc...

EQ is a very, very unforgiving game if you suck at it.

Following the simplest instructions and learning basic patterns is considered 'complex' these days? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

^Did not ever raid in WoW, clearly.

Lol @ complex raid encounters. WoW's idea of complex raid encounters were "don't stand in the giant glowing circle" or "run away from the badass murder mob." And if you're too fucking stupid to accomplish such complicated mechanics, you can download an add-on that holds your hand and tells you exactly where you need to be and what to do at all times.

WoW is complex is you're a fucking idiot. Or blind. I was deep into psychedelics back when I played WoW, I was tripping my face off 95% of the time I played and I was one of the top rogues in my raid guild.

eq was hard in 99, once castersrealm and allakhazam were up and running shit was ez.

If you think EQ is harder than wow you haven't played wow end game. There is literally zero skill to zerging down 32k dragons in VP who are invis pulled to entrance and die in twenty seconds.

P99 pve is a joke. Puppet strings / donals bps / able to stack resists higher than 255 / invis pulling / no proxy aggro, yada yada yada.

There was never much skill involved in EQ, but it requires a lot of knowledge or you'll die constantly.

That could be said for many games.

All things being equal - raiding in PoP required some semblance of gaming ability (Velious too).
