Yaw blue real challenging, join group hit auto attack collect exp repeat for 20-30 days played, app TMO and collect loot, retire sell account for blue plat, investigate your favorite toppings.

You'll note that I haven't said any Blue content is hard, but rather made a mockery of the claims that Red somehow is.

EQ is a fundamentally easy game to play. The difficulty comes in strategizing for the odd difficult encounters (see SAC thread or some raids at-gear and at-intended-numbers) and surviving the grinds/camps.

EQ PVE is definitely not challenging. Especially since half the players on blue are twinked out their asses. You end up being in a group with an average level of 55 and 4 epic characters.

PVP is probably a bit harder but I wouldn't say its some phenomenal leap up. Group PVP is mostly more of the same, pick a few spells and spam em.

Really I just don't feel EQ has either enough depth to be strategically challenging or a fast enough pace to require huge hand/eye coordination. Mostly EQ is about showing up more than the other guy. Perhaps its more accurate to say that you can be bad at EQ but not really good.

You're going to claim that bonus xp and 90% of the world consisting of uncontested, empty camps isn't easy for a solo class? Because that seems super easy to me.

Since literally the only difficulty in pre-velious EQ, as far as actual raid mobs goes, comes from competition with other guilds, I'm sure those uncontested bosses are super tough. Stacking resists for whatever fight you're going to face and pressing auto-attack, or casting the same spell 4 times because that's as long as the fight lasts, isn't exactly a challenge.

if you think pvp is as easy as pressing auto attack and clicking spells .......

Compared to the depth of any modern mmo's pvp, it's a joke.

You stack MR as a melee and no caster can root you, you roll a caster and just root/burst. The pvp has no purpose other then to piss people off, it's not like you gain anything from killing someone. So why would I play on the red side when it has pointless non faction based pvp that only has two ways of playing (melee/caster) and everyone plays the same. It's not even like you guys have guild vs guild it's mostly just ganking or getting ganked and coming back with 10 friends.

It is bizarre the me that anyone plays p99 for "challenge" or "accomplishments".

Need to reevaluate your lives, dudes.

Everything in the above post shows you have no idea how pvp on red99 works because root lands all the time. You can't just auto attack someone because people joust aka move around and time their attacks. Wizards don't just stand toe to toe casting sunstrike. Perhaps it's for the best you don't play on red because its clear you don't know how to play.
