Was WWI just about sitting in the trenches all day?

Yes.

Yes, soldiers often described it as a "vacation" they'd sit in trenches and play cards, smoke and drink and get paid, sometimes they'd even play soccer with the other side on the no-man's land
It was "The Big Ruse" as they say

Eventually the upper echelons got wind of it though and forced them to start gassing each other

For many it was.

Yeah they just sat there browsing le 4chan wit dem dank maymays

Despite all the trolling no it wasn't. Trench warfare only came into play after the first battle of the Marne, and is ended after the German spring offensive failed and the allies began the last 100 days. Also trench warfare was really only on the western front. The eastern, balkan, and african fronts were much more spread out.
