... there will never be one, all mmos are easy.. the only true mark of skill is how u can allow urself to play a game for long periods of time to gain an edge on players.. give me a break..

In EVE we'd call you a noob, or a carebear, or a noob carebear.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"

That's why I prefer MMOGs. If I work hard, for a long time, I'll have a superior character to someone that just bought the game yesterday. That's entirely the point.
You are ignoring the amount of time it takes to gain an edge. Skilled players can do so quicker.
I agree most MMOGs currently on the market are weak, so vote with your wallet and don't support weak games. Are you currently subscribed to a MMOG?

MMORPG's are not meant to be based on player skill, hence why they are RPG's. They are meant to be based on the stats, character skills, and armor/weapons you have.
What you are looking for is a FPS game. FPS games require player skill, because you need to dodge if you don't want to get hit and aim if you want to shoot.
I enjoy both, but I know what to expect when I pick up a game. I don't pick up a MMORPG thinking that it will take player skill to defeat a monster.

MMORPG's could be based on skills. It's only a myth, to think that RPG's HAVE to use dices. In CRPG's, you could easily use twitch-based gameplay, which would req. skills. At least, i'd call Oblivion an RPG - Obviously not a point-and-click type of game.

Well, if the devs would think so one sided no wonder new games dont have any progress and are always the same. There should be no fixed rules how nowadays mmorpgs should look like or what content and gameplay. An mmorpg can have also parts of the FPS genre and there are tons ideas to combine that. The problem is probably that too many devs only hear to the mainstream and the old mmorpg ideas, for a golden future we need new devs and customers with an more open mind to find out new ideas. Just imagine you have an mmorpg with quests, character development but the combat depends on your own skills with the mouse and keyboard..that would be something new and would get new fresh air in the quiete old mmorpg world.

QFE...if you think MMO's are easy, go fly in aces high and have dirt kicked in your face while being laughed at...it took me months to get even decent at the game, years to get good. Same goes for WWIIOL. Infantry combat isn't your CS in that game.
i wouldnt play. i dont want to rely on my own hand eye coordination. i want to rely on my character's hand eye coordination. that is why i play, to roleplay a character, not to use my own habilities on a computer generated character. i want to be him/her, as much as i can. so even though i may need glasses on real life, a can be a very good archer on a game, just becuase my character has a hig perception and agility, not me.
and even though i am not very hard or strong, i can roleplay a heavy fighter, incredibly strong, able to use a big sword on hand hand a big shield on the other, even though i myself cant even help from cutting myself while using a knife.
and with magic it is even more ridiculous. what do you want? people dancing and shouting on their rooms to cast a spell? come on... its a roleplaying game. you play your character, not yourself.
this is the reason i loved Baldur's GAte games, and didnt play too much morrowind (even though it is a very good game)
