You imply zerging with that first statement, maybe that wasn't your intention, but that's how the last Trak went down - not hating, just stating (I know they prebuffed etc*).
I've never said EQ required massive skill to kill raid targets, yet by observing how badly people play on this server (can't assess a certain %, but I've had my share of PUG and seen other guilds raid) I do have to say that there's some kind of skill involved - maybe it's just common sense that seperates the shitty players from the "good" ones.
Preparation* (gear, buffs, class diversity...), following orders, paying attention like Uu mentioned and a solid knowledge of your class and what you're capable of are certainly more important.

Examples:
Hand / Eye of Veeshan server firsts - no actual skill involved, both factions botted them down with pets, woop-de-doo, great for your epeen.

Some guild had killed Draco with ~14 people on Beta shortly after the extra server went up - which is impressive from my point of view. I wasn't there, but Hobby told us about it while we were clearing Fear.

think we had draco down to 1% with 11 people. Was actually 12 people and he would've died but 1 person LD'd and that person was the clincher!

so long as you're not a complete screw-up, EQ is easy and takes little to no skill. if you're playing to brag about how good you are at pvp or what you've done PvE then you should get yourself checked out

So they bragged about killing Gore with 30 people when they were using a blatant exploit? As hasbinbad would say, "oh the irony".

[Supaskillz]

isn't this info avail in 500 other places?

[Doors]

Yeah call me in for it. I want to see the mad skill involved in everquest raids.

I see what you did there.

Someone should just make a guild called 'Mad Skill'. Since all these raids are cutting edge afterall. Deciding if you need to click 1 or 3 at the right time can mean the difference between a wipe or not.
