LFR raids in WoW still depend on 2-3 competent people to lead and take charge otherwise they still failed or took horribly longer then they should have. I use to go into LFR's pre MoP and switch to main tank as blood DK and carry the entire LFR, It simply came down to gear and knowledge and being able to tell people(had it macro'd by then since retyping was annoying) what to do and when. The only problem were fights like Spine of Deathwing where you could have people purposely screw the fight up by killing tendrils or worse a entire group queue in together and roll the dragon by standing on the side. Either way comparing LFR raids in WoW to carrying EQ newbs in raids is totally different. EQ is way harder and takes more hand holding/time then WoW.
Nothing about EQ is harder than WoW. Actual WoW raids, not LFR, require mechanics far beyond the complexity of anything in EQ. To even say otherwise is factually incorrect. Take an encounter like Lei Shen or Durumu or Horridon, and then lol on heroic mode, and you're going to tell me that's easier than EQ, a game where with enough clerics you can infinitely auto attack the mob until it dies?

Heroic LK was harder than anything EQ ever had PVE wise. You literally had to have 25 people playing perfect for 15 mins. Sneeze and it was a wipe

EQ PvE is not hard at all but it's evident that there are still people that manage to fuck it up

like tibberz, i would rather play with a solid crew of 6 people

the problem with a lot of people i've played with on red99 is that they don't buff unless you ask them 5 times in tells

when i play with people like lime and dacbane, they start buffing me as soon as i'm near them without me even asking

really cuts a huge chunk out of downtime and preparation if you aren't a lazy fuck

That and the old mechanics are just not up to what people have attention for these days. I cant imagine playing this game w/o a manastone anymore just for the fact it kicks up down time. No one wants to sit and med for 20 min, buff then med for another 20. People can say WOW destroyed MMOs in that regard with food and drink. I say thank god.
