What are some online mmorpg games that require skill more than gear?

I'm looking for games that require skill rather than gear, or something similar to that. I used to play a game called Last Story on the Wii that had an online feature where everyone had the same gear and would do group battles against other groups. Because everyone had the same gear, the battle was completely based on skill rather than gear. I'm just wondering if there are other games that require skill more than they require gear to play effectively?

    Darkfall is a alright game, gear is a big part but it takes skill as well. They came out with the sequel to it about a year ago but I found the original version to be much better, too bad they shut that one down.

    There are like 0. seriously, the major thing MMO's do to keep people around is make gear suck and forcing you to upgrade and play the game more. There are RPG's that are dependent on skill to where lots of players wear the cloth armor that offers no protection because it lets you move easier. Dark souls and Demon souls are like that. you can beat bosses in rags and a broken sword if you are skilled enough. Vindictus is an MMO that comes pretty close because it involves blocking and timing your swings, Gear helps kill enemies faster, but if you can counter and move well you can do it with weak gear.

    The Elder Scrolls Online SHOULD be like that when it comes out.
