Forgot about variance?

Never found anything hard about WoW raiding. You get a measly 25 players that are competent enough to play their class and capable of attending uncontested raids where you avoid giant rings on the ground or other ridiculous mini games that any 12 year old can master.

Everquest is a completely different game. Its apples and oranges. Its always been more about the social aspect and large scale competition. Sure you can zerg down any target, but the difference between WoW and EQ is that we still learn new strategies to accomplish goals in EQ with fewer people, faster and more easily. Due to the childishly simplistic game mechanics in WoW, no matter how much time passes you will always accomplish everything the exact same way.

Everything in wow is easy and oversimplified.

Sam stop droppin that logic on them.

Dragons should be free for any random group of players to kill, and those that devote more time should be restricted or banned to make the server a more friendly place.

Having every mobs lined up for you back to back one day a week is way too easy and oversimplified IMO almost instanced like.

Most EQ servers always had a top guild, doesn't allowing them to manipulate the timers of those mobs a bit rough considering? Splitting the mobs throughout the week allowing more opportunities at mobs, and specifically a better chance at fighting an even fight given the time restrictions.

Least with PNP they can't use all their free time to sit on planar raids, and corpse camp lowbie EXP grps anymore !

When I was raiding in WoW we raided 3 days a week, we showed up at a specific time, cleared Frozen Throne shit whatever it was called, some trash, some bosses all back to back.

And then agreed to come back next week at the same time - sounds like Nihilum raiding exactly.

Oh goody, story time.

On live EQ we had patch day. On patch day we logged in when servers came up and killed dragons.

Rinse and repeat.

Just comparing WoW to my Nihilum experience, the same thing.

Actually I think WOW heroic raids were harder, because I had to do more than just listen to some nerd tell me to go and press attack now.

I guess my point is you act like a hardcore but you just enjoy the non-varianced model because it allows for easy cockblocking and control.

You're completely fake.

There's a reason variance was added to EverQuest on live.
