Being a puller who balances his rate to provide fun and exp and loot chances for his group without overwhelming them or boring them. Extra credit if you can do that without stepping on the toes of the people next door or losing nameds to a lame solo chanter sniper.
Breaking fear solo as a druid. Soloing protector as a shaman. Crawling through named velks dogs as a chanter. Generally tackling content with small numbers. Leveling with a few pals in the bottom of najena or dalnir instead of in Oasis or FM. Being a good bard. Etc

There is a vast difference between the skill of a good and a bad EQ player. The issue is that most players on P99 can't even tell the difference.
Many players rarely have the fortune of playing with a good player because gear inflation plays a big role in getting every nub on the server to 60 sooner or later. You can be sloppy with pulls when you have giant HP and mana pools and your melee classes are dealing tons of damage with twink gear. The "skill" is unnecessary for most.
The people who end up playing on the Green server will be those who are serious EQ heads and those who are brand new to the game without too much in between. Many current P99 players don't want to reroll because they will "lose what they worked for." Tons of people will play the official Vanilla WoW in August and do their carrot-on-a-stick-for-XP quests and be perfectly happy.
Some players on this server want to play EQ just for playing EQs sake and just keep rerolling and relevling toons. If you're lucky enough to run into one in your travels you will see "skill" and maybe learn a thing or two.
