Skill takes different forms in different games. In CS or any shooter games it's the fast reaction time and reflexes, in WoW or any modern mmo it's standing out of the fire and using the proper counter in pvp.
IMO, skill in EQ is anticipation instead of reaction. EQ has long cast times and no instants, so if you're already at the point of reacting to something it's often already too late. You can't headshot mid-air while doing a 360. It's more like chess, you have to prepare for any eventuality and plan a few moves in advance.
Sadly, not a lot of people have that ability to concentrate on the game 100%. They watch netflix or youtube, browse the forums, read something, because hey it's EQ, it's slow, it doesn't take skill. Auto-attack your way to victory am i right? Then the mob is incoming and the puller has to kite around for 20 seconds like a headless chicken but it's fine, kiting doesn't take skill it's just running around in a circle.
It's surprising, really when you think about it. Apparently EQ is slow and old and everything has been done already, so it takes zero skill. Then why is it so hard to find people who can at least play their class with a reasonable amount of efficiency?
