These aren't factors of skill, but of preperation, your doing the same mindless button mashing in all encounters, I'm not bashing everquest raiding, just the brainpower involved.

Some folks would argue that the preparation is indicative of the skill; that EQ is more strategy and perseverance than pressing buttons. EQ is about planning and prioritizing on account of the harsh penalties for being unprepared, moreso than most video games.
And honestly, video games aren't hard, period. They are still a child's medium first and foremost, and MMO's in particular are designed to accomodate a wide range of ages, aptitudes, equipment, etc. They are as inclusive as herpes.
But yeah, the "skill" in EQ is in prioritization and endurance. not in the dexterity of one's fingers, which is kind of a poor measurement of skill anyway unless maybe you're like a professional clit-flicker or something, which would be pretty rad.
