The easiest and simplest class to play?

If you don't mind grouping. Rogue is hands down the most mindless class to play. And I love it for that reason. So long as you're not dragging corpses...

You hit 1-3 buttons max
Attack
Backstab
Evade (paineel era)

Outside of that thrilling action you may be called upon to pick a door lock
1-2 clicks with a lock pick

And aformentioned the most intense part of playing a rogue is dragging corpses
Past lots of mean nasty monsters, hitting your /corpse hotkey

The cherry on top is Hide/Sneak as a rogue!
You can afk while these are active any place mobs won't path directly into you or see hide.

I think this is assuming that the Rogue has good gear from the start. I also for whatever reason was consistently responsible for doing all of the pulling in KC / Sebilis, and I always used pick pocket (and I think most rogues did) on COOL DOWN.

I would be lying if I said Rogue is hard to play, but after coming back for the first time in 20 years I regularly see legitimate new rogues getting out melee'd by casters, and I know from experience that Rogues can't solo anything. Meanwhile I've leveled a Druid to 30 in the last week, and have a level 20 Cleric that people beg to group with even though I'm wearing cloth and raw hide armor. This would literally never happen as a brand new Rogue.

Awesome once they get gear and have a group, but I would argue that if you are going to level a fresh character with no items or friends, that Rogue might be the hardest class in the entire game. Monk is almost certainly easier. If you make a mistake you literally press FD, and you can use bind wound + mend to be 100% hp in a jiffy while dealing respectable damage with bare fists and silk armor.
