Certain key roles in P99 raids take skill, such as pulling or leading. If shit hits the fan, a skilled chanter, or offtank / healer combo can save the raid before things snowball out of control. For the most part though, most p99 raiding is decided by who had more people show up faster. That's not really skill, that's dedication.
It's dedication to wake up at 3am for a batphone. It's dedication to farm for hours to get clickies or plat to recharge clickies. It's dedication to poopsock a mob for a 16 hour window, or coth duck for 16 hours straight. It's dedication to be within arms reach of your computer for 16 hours so that you can log in at a moment's notice when the batphone hits. But it's not skill. Dedication and skill are two different things, and I'd argue p99 raiding is mostly dedication with bits of skill sprinkled throughout.
