wow raiding is takes alot more skill than eq, what are you talking about. in eq you can bring 400 players to naggy if you want. there is no cap. raid bosses go down in 10 seconds or less most of the time. leveling here is pretty damn easy as this game is 15 years old and everyone knows the places to go. i dont play everquest because of the "challenge", i play it because i love the game world, norrath.

EQ raiding is way less forgiving than WoW. You can full wipe in WoW and be at the boss again within seconds; hell there are even safe zones RIGHT BY the raid boss where you can buff and rez the entire party if needed. In EQ - there is not a lot of forgiveness and a wipe at a boss could mean you have to clear the entire dungeon again (with no gear, unless you have a nec) to access the raid boss again.

In WoW you get way more encounters basically - there is no negative consequence to wiping

He said it took more skill, not that it was more tedious.

So you're basing the difficulty of raiding off of recovering your corpse?

Uh...it's true. Unless your definition of skill of unforgiving and time consuming. The actual encounters take more attentiveness with far less RNG involved.

It depends how you look at it.

On one hand, new content gets cleared in WoW within a couple weeks time, which was not possible in EQ. But in those couple weeks, the professional top guilds will have wiped on that boss between 150-300+ times. The access to the raids starts right away in WoW, whereas in classic EQ those bosses wont even be attempted for a long time.

Thats not a hint fgt, thats common knowledge

Coming from someone that's raided both. There is no comparison. WoW Heroic mode raids are ALOT more difficult than EQ. Anyone that says WoW raiding is easy obviously has been doing flex or using the LFR tool. They sure as hell are not doing normal, much less Heroic modes. To put it into perspective, on a Heroic mode WoW raid you can have one person fail one DBM emote/AT and your entire raid instantly dead. Even current live EQ (raids) which are a lot more difficult than classic. They don't hold a candle to WoW.

Yeah, and because it's about 50x more difficult, you need to be able to wipe and try again quickly. There really is no argument, raiding is far more challenging.
