Hello, I am a hardcore raider and have been for at least 4 years, I have also been playing WoW for the past 4 years, however it was not my first MMO by far, it was just where i started raiding. I love raiding and the content in WoW is so easy I could cry, is EQII any better at the moment in terms of raid difficulty, quality of content, etc.? Please answer I'm desperate to find a new MMO to satisfy my hardcore raiding thirst.

atm I'd say yes

I mean didn't the current WoW expansion get released about the same time as the current EQ2 one (november 08)? and all raid content in it was cleared like 11 days after release?

EQ2 raiding is far from perfect, but at least there is still a raidzone that hasn't been cleared :p

70-80 and all raid content was cleared 3 days after :\. I am surprised and glad to hear that it has been quite a bit of time since the last xpack for EQ2 came out and there's still content that hasn't been downed. What are your suggestions server and class wise if I want to jump into hardcore raiding asap.

Most raid guild carry 4/bards + 4/5 enchanters on raids, and more often than not, you'll easily find a spot for one of those classes in top guilds assuming you know your shit and you're dedicated to raiding.

I'm not really a hardcore raider myself, just a casual to moerate-core :p

Hard to say a definite class and server, but you could take a look here Help Wanted: Gamewide Recruitment - EQ2Flames Forum to try to get a general idea.

The only reason that the last few named havnt been killed is because they are OP. On that note, what classes do you like to play?

that might be true, but it is still better than fucking wow where it took ppl 3 days to level up ten levels and clear all raid content

a guy I work with plays wow and we discuss our respective games everyday almost over lunch and it seems to me that the last wow exp (twotlk) has really easy raidcontent. in earlier wow expansions it sounded like the raidzones were more hardcore than EQ2's

The answer is, NO.

The raid content is atrocious and not-fun. Difficulty is dependent on raid makeup or critical mitigation drops, rarely execution or strategy. If you're coming back to raid TSO; you're wasting your time. TSO has the worst raid content to date in my estimation.
