You'll find a bunch of different types of players in MMO's, though. I've played Everquest for years, and I've found that most high-end players are not good players; they just know how to successfully contribute to their guild/raid with whatever role they are in (healer, tank, DPS, etc). You'll find great players who are not high-end (and I don't mean just level, I mean a high-end progression guild) but have relied on their pure skill to move forward in the game. This is of course opposed to the high-end raider who has the best gear, but no skill, because he bought a level 75 (or now 80) Necro on eBay, and then joined a guild and is quite happy to sit and mana-feed the gimp clerics. (Ever notice you'll very rarely see a "high-end" necro kiting?). Overall I agree with you, but I think that this already takes place in many MMO's, however, it is also still possible for people to be those retards that can't do anything on their own. Its just like real life, you have smart people in crappy jobs, and dumb people in quite important jobs.
