Considering the Bronze edition is only 40-something U.S, it would appear to be far cheaper than any of the current "new" games. I may just have to take myself up on that purchase.
Anyways, topic, right. I think he's pretty much got it down - World of Warcraft is very casual, and Everquest 2 is insanely difficult. Maybe I should just go back to Dark Age of Camelot, for, what, the fifth time? I have never found a game that has simaltaneously both held my interest for such an extended period and made me want to quit time after time after time.
World of Warcraft is interesting, but it lacks the whole edge of really building community, as far as I have found. On the other hand, Everquest 2 is too rediculously difficult for someone of my caliber. In all honesty, I do not believe I am built for this kind of game genre, yet spending so much money continuously buying new games is un-economical, whereas spending a bit of money every month for some continued enjoyment is acceptable. Still..
Qhue has been posting analysis of EQ on the FoH boards for more years than I can remember to count.
You can read another guys opinion without it changing your own. I respect what the guy writes. Look every MMORPG is about the grind. I agree that WoW has taken the grind out, and made it casual. But does that mean the content was dumbed down, and will get old hat fast in the end game. End game being when you hit 60. CoH had this problem, and most folks just re-rolled a new character when they got to the end.
I think he has a point, but this is only beta, and Blizz has already outlined MANY items they intend to add later.
If you're a betting man, bet on blizzard. SOE will always burn it's fan base to make a quick buck. They have the track record.

A few things to add:
1.) Qhue is the epidemy of Hardcore gaming. Like Vabtoo on EQlive bristlebane, Qhue will be the one playing 24/7 with only enough work hours for food and game subscription.
2.) Blizzard HAS STATED that they increased the leveling curve for beta so that testers could get through more content with more classes in a shorter amount of time. Since that was his only complaint (besides raiding type large encounters), we should be in good streads.
Once more content gets released, it should be better.
I wonder if the guy has done stratholme with 5 people. Try doing Baron rivendare. He can be killed with 5 people of course, but he is quite challenging :).
WoW is easy at first. Once you get up to the higher levels, those 5 man instances require a bit more strategy.
