You create skill "builds" to fit what you want to do on the particular outing you're going on. Think Magic: the Gathering. You have a huge stack of cards to choose from, but you can only build a deck from a few taken out of that stack. Same with GW, at endgame you'll have hundreds of skills to choose from but can only bring 8 with you at any given time.
If you mean player skills, it pretty much requires the same skills any other MMO would require -- being able to use a mouse and keyboard at the same time.
When your character is in an outpost or town, you can change your attribute stats anytime without penalty so you can try to make different builds anytime. Gears, weapons are not that hard to acquire. You can get max stats weapons from npc collectors or weaponsmiths. People are spending money only for the looks of armors and weapons. So basically your skill as a player, skill building and your role for the team and team effort matters. This is a team based game
kramt has the right of it. Sure, I could give any one of you whatever build I happen to be using at the time, and not everyone will be able to use it as effectively as I can, and probably some people would be much better with my own build. It's all individual player skill rather than time spent playing.
