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.

look at wow raids, they require quick thinking and changes you need to adapt to in order to complete most encounters, I have seen some very clever strategies to complete BC encounters. WoW is a shit game too, but their pve raids require brain juice to complete(well they did before u could get a mod for every raid that tells u what to do every single second).
