Thank you for agreeing that’s it’s completely a matter of perspective.

All of everquest is just tedium, there is no skill involved at all, unless you consider reading and learning a skill. If you fully understand your class and its abilities, then you just do that same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over until DING.
EQ
is not a skill game, its an information game. 1 dead orc pawn could ding you 1-60 why not? but then people wouldn't pay subs for years. So they had to make it looonnnggg and tedious, requiring thousands to millions of mob kills. They don't call it an XP "grind" because its uproariously entertaining.
The most "skill" intensive class is enchanter, a 2 second lapse can kill you/group/raid - But even on enchanter, in all situations, its nothing more than knowing which spells to cast, and the proper time to cast, and then doing so.
Shooters are closer to a game of skill. If you can 90 degree flick the mouse to a 4 pixel headshot in 150ms, then you have a skill, its something that many others cannot physically perform.
After that, even in shooters its a knowledge game. Operator knowledge, map knowledge.
