Never raided in WoW, but it's hard to believe anything would take less skill than EQ raiding, at least in the era we're in on P99. I mean, shit dies within 30 seconds of spawning here, with the biggest challenge being who can tag the mob first. The only skill here is convincing 30 unemployed people to not seek gainful employment and to leave their EQ client at server select with 8 toons ready to go depending on which mob pops.
Later expansions in EQ were far more challenging, but early EQ was pretty easy. Even PoP was fairly easy really. Coirnav was on the path to difficult encounters, but it was artificially difficult due to the lockout on failure. Took our guild like 3-4 attempts to do rathe. It was more about planning than anything. DoDh, TSS (prenerf), and TBS are where EQ raiding really got difficult. Of course those are about 8 expansions too late for this server.
