DAOC skill = reflexes, knowledge, teamwork and equipment.
Most people that rvr actively in mid have pretty nice templates by now, yet they dont perform nearly on the same level. There are those that have uber equipment yet they arent half as good players as some that still arent done with theirs. So yes, there is definetly something we have to call skill in the game.
As regards optimized grps - its seems that most albs have it in their mind that we mids always can build uberultrasupermegaoptomizedfotmgrps. We cant, and we dont. Some very few people might wait all night for that perfect group, but most random grps and even many dedicated rvr gg's have to leave mtk with what they can muster that night (i.e. maybe only 2 healers, maybe no debuffer, maybe a bb specced shammy, maybe not a balanced caster/tank dmg dealers setup etc etc).
That beeing said i agree its a shame that there isnt very much actuall playfullness in the game - rvr is treated with deadly seriousness. But as someone said, people want to win, at least some, and to do that today you need to spend alil time getting your group at least somewhat viable.
