wow raiding is takes alot more skill than eq, what are you talking about. in eq you can bring 400 players to naggy if you want. there is no cap. raid bosses go down in 10 seconds or less most of the time. leveling here is pretty damn easy as this game is 15 years old and everyone knows the places to go. i dont play everquest because of the "challenge", i play it because i love the game world, norrath.

EQ raiding is way less forgiving than WoW. You can full wipe in WoW and be at the boss again within seconds; hell there are even safe zones RIGHT BY the raid boss where you can buff and rez the entire party if needed. In EQ - there is not a lot of forgiveness and a wipe at a boss could mean you have to clear the entire dungeon again (with no gear, unless you have a nec) to access the raid boss again.

Yeah, and because it's about 50x more difficult, you need to be able to wipe and try again quickly. There really is no argument, raiding is far more challenging.

by this definition would you say that red99 takes more skill than blue99 since you also have to deal with PvP as well?

If difficult doesn't = time consuming everyone arguing that point in this thread would be NBA or NFL stars.

Just don't have the time for that though, right??

To use your analogy, WoW would be like a quarterback throwing a football to wide receiver running a complicated route through coverage requiring exact timing and a diving catch. If the receiver drops the ball they can line up and try it again. While EQ would be like two people standing 10 yards apart throwing a ball back and forth. If they drop it they have to jump up and down on one foot for an hour straight before they can continue playing catch.

Jumping up and down on one foot is hard mmmkay

Instead of jumping up and down on one foot. It would be more like they have to sit there and do absolutely nothing for 10 hours straight.
FTFY

Sitting there and doing nothing for 10 hours hard?

I got your point but I have to say I'd love to see how long you would actually last if you had to jump on one foot for an hour.
