To say that all of EQ is autoattack is to show that you haven't played all the classes. The autoattack amount varies greatly.

Agreed, if all someone is doing in EQ is autoattacking, they're almost certainly doing it wrong.
I didn't get into EQ at the launch, in fact I didn't subscribe until Luclin came out, so P99 is the closest that I've been to "classic" EQ. I did play classic WoW, beginning a few months before BC went live. Admittedly I wasn't a dedicated WoW player, I only logged in when I was bored with EQ or tired of LFG. Still, I played that WoW account for about a year, left and then re-subbed in the middle of WotLK, then drifted in and out until just a few months ago. EQ on the other hand I played for almost 8 years straight, from 2001 to 2009.
I found the levelling in WoW PvE to be butt easy. Bread crumb quests that rewarded great xp for minimal effort, along with rewarded gear that was at least good enough to get you through a few levels plus fair to decent coin. The few "group" quests in WoW were easy enough for you and a friend or two to power through in a few minutes.
You could push more buttons in WoW if you wanted to, but most just macro'd a one button rotation that worked pretty well for most classes.
Tie into a mob or mobs that are beating you into jelly? That's okay, just run away because in WoW they'll give up after a few dozen yards. Heck, even if you die it isn't like there's any real penalty.
I could go on, but I'd just be repeating what most have already said. There's a reason that WoW was referred to as the "kiddy pool" of MMOs almost from launch.
