Everquest takes skill? The game is stupidly imbalanced, theres almost no skill involved. Games like RTS and FPS take skill, where everyone is on equal footing. having blatant class imbalances, gearing imbalances, and level imbalances doesn't exactly equate to skill.

Having to compensate for a lack of balance requires more skill than all being on the exact same level in regards to class power, items, experience levels etc.
EverQuest PVP was never intended to be balanced and I'm pretty sick of hearing arguments in favor of having a balanced system. Just because some dude that has the same exact advantages as you, the same exact guns as you, moved his mouse slightly faster and clicked it to kill you, means he has more skill than you? That's hardly a measure of skill. The same can be said about World of Warcraft. The classes in that game were designed to be "balanced". Does that mean it takes skill to play the game? Hardly.
Skill is having to overcome odds that aren't in your favor, imo. An over-geared SK rolling over a lower level, under-geared caster class doesn't take much skill, no, but in reverse if that same caster rolls over the SK? Yeah, I'd say he had some semblance of skill.
