Looking for MMO without traditional gameplay

Puffles

I'm looking for an MMO that doesn't have the traditional gameplay of pressing hotkeys to use skills on mobs or other players. That type of gameplay bores me from the beginning. I'm looking for something like The Agency, Puzzle Pirates, or EVE Online--anything, as long as it's an MMO without the cliche MMO gameplay. Any suggestions besides the games I've already named?

I would absolutely try the DDO 10 day trial based on what you're describing.  The combat system is completely opposite of the whole hotkeying skills into a queue, it's almost like an FPS style.

I don't really want something with grind. DDO might be different gameplay-wise, but it's still about leveling up and repetitive combat.

You could try pirates of the burning sea.Pretty fun game, and has a great player run economy and PVP.

PotBS doesn't have grind or repetitive gameplay?

Have you looked into Wurm Online? It really is not comparable to traditional MMOS, and has some very, very exciting features.
The other one you should look closer at would be Eve.
