Swish, where did your account go that had 20k posts?

In fairness in EQ you just need to be able to read the word 'assist' (easy mode) or the cheal chain broadcast preceding yours (hard mode) and then press the appropriate button.

Previous WoW world first racer here.

Does anyone actually think EQ is harder than WoW from a mechanics standpoint? No. Not even close. I would say P99 raiding is far more about preparation, game / zone knowledge, and truly dedicated (to the point of mental illness) leadership.

Its just a different flavor. I had never played EQ before I started P99 a bit over three years ago. I had been done with WoW for a while, had my "successes" in the high end raid scene, and found the community and experiences here to be refreshing. It reminded me of my old Asheron's Call days where you actually had to form relationships with people on the server instead of just entering a queue and not having to communicate with anyone.

WoW has become a homogenized abomination that caters to the snowflake generation. Sure, the upper echelon / bleeding edge mythic raiding is challenging...but the rest of the game is severely watered down nonsense. It has zero appeal to me as an older gamer.

I don't necessarily get off on my games being uber hard anymore. We're not 17 years old with amazing reflexes and nearly unlimited hours to practice / perfect our skills. I've boiled myself down to ARAMs (LoL) and casual P99 these days. I quite enjoy that in my limited time I have in front of the computer.

We're all shitters for playing video games in the first place.

Why even argue about difficulty?

P99 > WoW, easily and that's an undisputed fact.

If you disagree, get Thrall. I'll kick his ass all over my front lawn.

What's your point? My experience with EQEmu was relevant as to how I got to this forum since a lot of people seemed to think I just stumbled upon it somehow. Then I was specifically asked.

If you'd really like to point out some truths maybe start by telling us why you're so upset and we can go from there.
