Just because WoW has gear checks built into a lot (or even all) of its encounters hardly means that player knowledge/skill isn't a big factor as well. There are plenty of old encounters (not even just raid encounters either) that can wipe a player/group/raid in MoP gear if they don't know the mechanics before the attempt.
Besides, EQ isn't even close to being ALL about player knowledge/skill either: good luck XPing in HS south with a group of level 50s, or killing Hoshkar a raid of level 50s wearing cloth (short of a huge, huge zerg). | ||

To all the people saying WoW is easy, which it is for serious veteran MMO players, go arrange a Flex SoO 4 group with OQ right now with an ilevel requirement of 545 then come back to me. The problem doesn't lie in your skill, it involves the people around you; their skill. If WoW was filled with 6 million competent players, it would be considered an easy game.
Also, Salimon, you've obviously never PvP'd in WoW, judging from your comments. Which by the way is entirely skill based, given the 550 ilevel cap in arenas.

people seem to argue that 15 years of documentation and experience in an un-updated game makes it easy.
It's like if you played Ninja Gaiden 3 for 15 years. Yea you would kill that shit in a speed run, you rule at it you know everything about it. It does not mean Ninja Gaiden 3 is easy, it just means you're really good at it. Many people here have mastered EQ and then they think that its easy. But come on, you'll still wipe, you'll still CR, 15 years later and you still cant get to 60 on a permadeath server (secret plug for a permadeath server). that means EQ is hard.

What are you guys even comparing? Classic EQ to current WoW? WoW was the beginning of easy mode MMO. EQ live is ridiculously easy now too.
Decaying skeletons drop this: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=75365 What made classic EQ hard was 1.) death mattered and 2.) nothing guided you thru anything. Mess up and have a 3 hour CR and lose all the exp you gained from the last 3 hours to boot. People think twice about trying risky stuff. We don't really have 2 anymore because its a 15 years old game. | ||

It is funny how WoW comes up so quick when it is not really relevant to the topic of the thread.
MMO players have no imaginations though, can't imagine their games being any different than they are, so they have to make comparisons to other games say anything about them. I still think EQ could be made harder in some respects, in ways that would make it more challenging and rewarding in the classic style, if technically less classic in content, without reference to other MMOs. But I don't think anyone would be able to discuss that without bringing in some other game and fanning the flames. | ||
