You're defining skill as one particular aspect and then just stating that it's the most important. One could just as well say that generating wealth through EC trading is the most accurate skill. It's one aspect of the game just like any other.

* Soloing difficult mobs
* Being efficient at guild mobilization and logistics
* one on one PVP
* ganking style PVP
* Making money through trades
* The ability to make loyal in game friends

All of these are various skillful aspects of Everquest. Claiming that one in particular is the most important is a tautology. It's only the most important skill to you.
